Ya know, what really “gets” me is that somehow whether an organization is “non-profit” versus “for profit” has ANYTHING at all to do with the whole thing.

I’ve worked several years in a non-profit. Business is done in non-profits the exact same way it’s done in “for profit” organizations.

The income earned in non-profits is plowed right back into the organization once the staff and employees are paid and operating costs are paid.

CEO’s and Boards of Directors are paid just as well in non-profits as they are in “for profit” organizations.

Same thing with the “for profit” organizations.

Maybe somebody can clear this up for me here. This supposed difference in the application of the law (any law) to a non-profit versus a “for profit” organization.

The Hahns’ attorney, Charles Proctor said they will appeal the decision all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, but in the meantime, Conestoga will reluctantly comply with the mandate, since the Hahns cannot afford the $95,000 a day in fines they would have to pay if they refused.

Obama is such a good President. What joy he brings to people’s lives every day…

Blech.

Didn’t you say you supported Obama’s election? This is his doing, and is the result of Americans thinking he is a good President.

I was thinking along the same lines. In the true spirit of a religious community, wouldn’t it operate ideally with volunteers?

That is a real shame.
