WAs thinking much the same when I saw Bob's comments.  Guess he hasn't observed
the way the CAtholic church has tried to
quash discussion of birth control methods here in the U.s.

Wouldn't mind it so much if the various religions would stay the hell out of
other folks' beliefs and activities.  IF
they wish to dictate to their followers that's one thing,
but when they try to foist their usually misguided beliefs
off on the rest of us it becomes another matter entirely.

Regards,
           Richard
