Money and ignorance...corrupting sacred ceremonies!

Authorities puzzled by deaths at Sedona-area sweat lodge

When I first read the headline of this story, I was shocked and scared. As I researched it more - I took a deep breath of relief when I discovered it was at a resort, people paid money to attend it, and it was ran by a self-help guru and inspirational speaker, James Arthur Ray who is President and CEO of his own multi-million dollar corporation.

My prayers are with the families dealing with this tragedy, but I can't help to wonder...what the hell are these people thinking?! This is disrepectful and dangerous. The best quote in the article was given by Jennifer Gentry, "In my opinion, it's a sacred ceremony," she said. "You shouldn't sell it, and you shouldn't have that many people in it."

What are your thoughts?

Washington Redskins...

What are your thoughts on the Washington Redskins name? I know many in our state that wear the crimson and gold with pride. Is the western states more supportive of the Redskin name or more against the name?
