The 10th Commandment

[Earth Wind and Fire]

Wow.....this is the 10th Commandment; Thou shalt not covet.

Now, from my humble prospective the really hot sins are:

Thou shall NOT kill.

Thou shall NOT Steal

Thou shalt have no other gods before me

Thou shalt NOT commit adultery.

But 'COVET'?!?

Definition of COVET

1: to wish for earnestly <covet an award>
2: to desire (what belongs to another) inordinately or culpably

Come on..... isn't coveting the American way? Dont we even make it a cutesy expression...."Keeping up with the Jones's". Isnt coveting at the heart of who we are....the reason for our competitiveness? Do people really go to hell for that?
