The terrifying fact that Waters is a physician cuts me to the core. I didn't know this before yesterday.

You have no idea. If you knew what kind you would really be scared. Think of a cliche about a certain kind of doctor.

Remember when Madden or one of the prominent announcers said of Steve Young, backup QB, on the sidelines, "that's not the face of a backup."

Joe "Jefe" Montana discovered it was true.

I can agree with this. I don't like that there was a racist basis for denial of the priesthood and it would be nice to hear a leader come out and say "It was wrong and immoral and we apologize for denying black men the opportunity to hold the priesthood."

You are preaching to the choir. Most of us here feel the same way.
