Given the impending financial doom, I thought it would be good to enter a spiritual realm. So, vote and discuss, which of the 3 virtues [?] is the greatest?
Go on, go on, go on.
Go on, go on, go on.

Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?

HopeI voted Hope - he's a funny guy.When she started to play, Steinway came down personally and rubbed his name off the piano.She said she was approaching forty, and I couldn't help wondering from what direction.0

HopeI voted hope.
Faith- Is something that you have in someone or something, better just to rely on yourself.
Hope- Is the belief that things can get better, I'm happy with this one.
Property- Is a roof over your head, thats it. If it means more than this to you, you haven't experienced many bad things in life and when you do, it will bring a sharp perspective of whats important and what isn't.0 -
FaithIf you study the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you will know that the foundation of the Shoe Event Horizon theory is that when depressed, people tend to look down, and when they look down, they see their shoes. To cheer themselves up, they might buy themselves a new pair. Thus, in a generally depressed society, demand for shoes will rise.
So I voted Faith, because they sell shoes and that is where I think it is going to be.After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union

FaithI voted Faith because DW and I are taking a great leap of faith in flogging our house and heading off somewhere new in 2009. Times are uncertain & so are we, but at our age, time certainly isn't for wasting.0

HopeFaith is stronger than hope, but it can be blind.
Hope is more realistic but lacks the element of control over fate.
Charity - said to be the greatest - hardly replaced by Property.0 -
Well obviously property is the greatest and I'm saving hard to get a house. Of course that means that I have great faith in the house price crash so maybe it's faith and not property. I hope prices come down so that they are more comfortably in my reach....oh wait, maybe it's hope. I really hope that I can get a property because property is the greatest virtue. Aside from faith, I mean. And hope...0
