Deadly sins, updated by the Vatican

Surprise! The Vatican considered it was about time to review the deadly sins, and released 7 new ones, called "social sins". They don't replace the old ones, but certainly tackle more contemporary problems. They include : 3. Drug abuse 4. Polluting the environment 5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor 6. Excessive wealth 7. Creating poverty (And i'm not listing #1 and #2 because I don't agree with them :-) - and since I'm not a journalist, this is OK. But if you are curious now, you can find them at Bloomberg News http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=email_en&refer=uk&sid=aQLLScKV3f.A Instead, I would suggest this list 1. Consumerism 2. Excessive use of natural resources 3. War 4. Polluting the environment 5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor 6. Excessive wealth 7. Torture and abuse What is your version of the top 7 new social sins?
