I vaguely recall a time when I could read the news about weather and some guy driving too fast on the highway, then call a friend and bitch about the house band taking too long of a break, then have lunch at a Sonoran Dog cart and talk to the guy about his favorite Idol. Good times.

Yikes. "Data from the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse recently revealed that, between 1950 and 2010, 60% of all abuse allegedly took place at faith-based institutions. Evidence showed that, in Catholic institutions, 95% of alleged offenders were men." (2017)
