Doesn't Uncle Sam categorize any business with more than 50 and fewer
than 50 million a "small business" nowadays?
Sub-50's a Mom 'n Pop Shop.

Any 'organization' is going to fight to keep money in their pockets.
No surprise, but sad. Next you'll need a license to scatter ashes.

Indeed. Who'd a'thunk it?
At $29-50k a year, not a big enough business for me to switch careers.

Vatican = big business. Monks = small business.

It's a bit more complicated than that ... if you're interested, see...
http://www.sba.gov/contractingopportunities/officials/size/index.html
The FL RAC defines small businesses as those companies with 500 or
fewer employees, the same measure generally used by the US Small
Business Administration.
500? Seems a bit larger than small to me but I'm not Uncle Sam and
don't get the privilege of taxing people.

Wouldn't that be a Pop 'n Pop shop in the caseof the Monks?
Wait. That's not right either.
Monk 'n Monk shop?

Gee, big business using its lobbying clout to squash small business, what a

Ahem, it seems to be one group of monks that is being threatened with
prosecution here, not the whole church.

This is not the first time this has happened in Louisiana, nor is it the
first state where this has happened. IIRC, the last one was Kentucky.
Funerals and associated industries are recession proof and bring in a lot of
cash. Turf is fiercely defended.

I'm with you there. Use all the parts possible for transplants and use the
rest for science. I've got two artificial hips, and the ortho community
likes to see how they wore.
I've also suggested my wife just put me in the recycling bin. In addition to
the hips there is the metal in the lumbar spine and cervical spine.
