    You probably have no idea what the Catholic church really teaches about sex, abortion, and contraceptives, and that's probably why you conclude they are crazy and hypocritical. Your average Catholic usually has no idea either.

    You could read the "Theology of the Body" series by Pope JP2, but here's a very short intro.

    I send reports to a government office in PDF, and call up to tell them the password. This plan seems idiot-resistant, and low-tech. Also, I can verify they got it.

    I get the AARP magazine because I'm an old fart, and there are at least 2 "No Fuss" computers advertised in it. They probably make a lot of money selling the machines and monthly subscriptions, but it's worth it to some old folks who won't have to worry about windows problems. The UIs have big buttons that say "surf the web" and "email to grandkids" and such. Go thou and do likewise.

    Well, they bumped out Windows as the #1 operating system and replaced it with a (sort of) Linux distro, and for that I am grateful.
