Thinking about debt (pledges) and debt to God (sin) Habbakuk 2 comes to mind:
2 And the LORD answered me:
Write the vision;
make it plain on tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time;
it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it;
it will surely come; it will not delay.
4 “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.
5 “Moreover, wine is a traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.

6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,
Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own—
for how long?—
and loads himself with pledges!
7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of man and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
9 Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
10 You have devised shame for your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.
12 “Woe to him who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity!

It seems to me we have built our cities on the blood of iniquity, and we have loaded ourselves with pledges to the tune of 13Trillion Dollars thats (13 x 10^12)

RE: Pardon Homolka? I pray that she never gets a pardon. This woman is evil. It’s a shame that Canada abolished capital punishment back in 1976. After all even God says that murderers are to be put to death.

Most will remember that she and her ex husband Paul Bernardo kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered two schoolgirls. She also drugged and allowed Paul to rape her own sister, plus she also committed sick acts on her own sister before she died by choking on her own vomit. What a lot of people seem to forget is that her husband Paul was also the “Scarborough Rapist.” (Scarborough is in the east end of Toronto.

For several years Bernardo had young women in Scarborough living in fear because he stocked, raped and brutally beat dozens of women. It was even believed that Carla might have been involved in some of the attacks. I remember hearing on the news when they got busted that she might have even driven Paul to the locations where he did his attacks and that she might have even helped choose some of his victims.

For this reason Carla Homolka should never be pardoned, she still is dangerous and a threat to society. Besides are there other unsolved rapes and murders that they might have been involved with? Perhaps, but who knows? The Canadian justice system (if that’s what you want tot call it) has already lost all credibility over the past twenty years or so, and by pardoning Homolka would just be another black eye in an already corrupt system no one has faith in or trusts.
