	piety does not make your guilty.
	rather being raised in an atmosphere of "inherent guilt".....
	well lets drop that one.

	the big difference is whether on applies ones piety to themselves
	or to others.  in translations the phrase may be "a righteous
	man in a fur coat."  he's nice an warm, talking about the deeds
	of all those without coats during the winter.

	a similar sentiment was once expressed as "let him.....the first
	stone."  hhmmm...thhis could get rather heated.  perhaps
	best left alone.  hacking is so much less dangerous.

ps.  "wee frill" ??  some left europe to escape societies that had
	frills on their clothes.  among other reasons.  surely,
	they left their "wee frill"s behind.
