Here, I think this is a more cartoonist (& copyright) friendly way to post other people's cartoons on my blog.

I just love Clay Bennett's work. And this is an amazingly clear and potent statement about the abuses of credit card companies. Maybe all the religious--wingers who make such a big stink about gay marriage need to consider these Bible verses too-

Ezekiel 18:13
He lends at usury and takes excessive interest. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he will surely be put to death and his blood will be on his own head.

Ezekiel 22:12
In you men accept bribes to shed blood; you take usury and excessive interest and make unjust gain from your neighbors by extortion. And you have forgotten me, declares the Sovereign LORD.

Turns out that charging an unconscionable or exorbitant rate interest is a sin! Who would've thunk it? Kinda like torture and unprovoked, unjustified war. Hmmm. Just something to think about.
