My work had been giving out $10 gift cards on a monthly basis, for successfully tracking billable time, on time, as we migrated over to a new system. Nine months ago, they removed this incentive system, and replaced it with a winner-take all $1000 grand prize at the end of the year, with a smaller 2nd and 3rd prize.
Shortly before the drawing, I suggested that whoever wanted to, could go in together as a group, and if any of us won, we would split the money evenly.
I had no takers.
After the drawing, three people left happy. I was not one of them.
I would have been happy with my gift card and think this was a poor business decision.

“Ugh, Beethoven Sucked!”
Let's say that was my response after attending a 4th grade band concert and hearing a bunch of 10-year old miscreants butcher "Ode to Joy". That would be unfair to Ludwig, would it not?
Then why would we blame religion for the perpetrations of the angry who claim to be followers of one?
