 Ah, okay. So if you don't have time to contribute, that's cool. But that
also means that your pronouncements on it are, well, a bit dubious. She
was commenting *on* those links, however, so your dismissal needs to take
that into account.

 In any case, take care of yourself over there.

 Um... frankly, that Bill Donohue guy strikes me as far more qualified
for that title. If you manage to squeeze in time to read a news article
or two, just read what he himself writes. The article I pointed out has
several convenient links. "In technical terminology... he's a loon."

 I only saw stuff that implied she disagreed intensely with positions of
the Catholic Church. No biggie, so far as I'm concerned. I've a bone or
two to pick with them myself, for example:

 I didn't see anything she wrote that's worse than what I wrote (feel free
to point something out), and I'm *married* to a Catholic, and we've got our
tenth anniversary coming up in May, and we're expecting our fourth kid in
June. Seeing as I don't consider myself a bigot, I'm kind of willing to cut
'pandagon' some slack.

 Yeah, I thought not.

 Sincerely,

 The study concludes... that even though there is little data to prove
 the effectiveness of zero-tolerance policies, such initiatives serve
 to reassure the public that something is being done to ensure safety.
