Bob and I start off today by talking about the latest Vinson report published by Jesuit Social Services. It is called “Dropping off the edge: the distribution of disadvantage in Australia”. The executive summary can be found at:

Bob reflects on the impact that religious icons and hardware in churches can intimidate regular people, the vandalism to his outdoor noticeboard, and his blog post about Lent. We move on to the tendency for institutions to become corrupt, including the church and police. This becomes a discussion of Bob’s role as Chaplain during the Vietnam War, and the current international conflicts.

We discuss our new Second Life player Igor who has volunteered his time, expertise, and resources to make Bob’s dream come true of a Bob Robot. Also, the disappointing results of the podathon, and Bob’s futile care program, and of course the Listener Question of the Week!
