I think part of Christianity, Bill, I got a good friend who died a couple of years ago who was a heavy alcoholic. I think a lot of Christians watch. We go to church and watch, might even have a cup of coffee during the service. We want to be entertained with the choir, the preacher. I don't like that guy. That's not what we're supposed to do. You got to get involved.
