Sex Ed

I recall in 7th grade having sex education. By the early 1980s, it was everywhere - special classes on specific diseases, posters, radio, TV. I remember, vaguely, a movie with Tony Geary, (I remember him from Luke and Laura on General Hospital) in a TV movie about herpes. The information was everywhere. By the mid 1980s, demand son the Reagan administration to dramatically increase funding and programs on sex education. By the 1990's, it was everywhere from MTV (18-30 year olds covered with the 1990s MTV), radio programs geared toward anyone interested in sex and every imaginable issue regarding sex or addiction. Yet somehow with all this education and hundreds of millions spent -

NEW YORK (AP) — A city Health Department study finds that more than a fourth of adult New Yorkers are infected with the virus that causes genital herpes.

The study, released Monday, says about 26 percent of New York City adults have genital herpes, compared to about 19 percent nationwide.

In light of the recent reconsideration of the facts, AIDS is not the monster we were told it was (for the hetrosexual community). It has to make you wonder. You spend billions over the last twenty years and ...

herpes increase and More Education Please - STD's increase.



Makes you wonder. I'd rather spend the money on something that actually accomplishes something. Apparently all this money has not helped a lot, especially in New York.

Maya Angelou and her touting HRC

From Maya Angelou:

"Dear Friend:

I am writing to tell you about my friend, Hillary Clinton, and why I am standing with her in her campaign for the presidency. I know the kind of president Hillary Clinton will be because I know the person she is.

I am inspired by her courage and her honesty. She is a reliable and trustworthy person. She is someone I not only admire but one for whom I have profound affection.

Hillary does not waver in standing up for those who need a champion. She has always been a passionate protector of families. As a child, she was taught that all God’s children are equal, and as a mother, she understood that her child wasn’t safe unless all children were safe. As I wrote about Hillary recently in a praise song: “She is the prayer of every woman, and every man who longs for fair play, healthy families, good schools and a balanced economy.”

It may be easy to view Hillary Clinton through the narrow lens of those who would write her off or grind her down. Hillary sees us as we are, black and brown and white and yellow and pink and relishes our differences knowing that fundamentally we are all more alike than we are unalike. She is able to look through complexion and see community.

She has endured great scrutiny, and still she dares greatly. Hillary Clinton will not give up on you, and all she asks is that you do not give up on her. She is a long-distance runner. I am honored to say I am with her for the long run.

I am supporting Hillary Clinton because I know that she will make the most positive difference in people’s lives and she will help our country become what it can be. Whether you are her supporter, leaning towards her, undecided, or supporting someone else, I believe Hillary Clinton will represent you – she will be a president for all Americans. It is no small thing that along the way we will make history together.

Vote for Hillary Clinton and show your support http://www.hillaryclinton.com/. I know she will make us proud."

My only question - how can Maya Angelou be listened to after this obsequious opening for HRC? Hillary has lied - we have more moments where she has been caught lying than any twenty people combined. Lying about everything from her expanded/limited role in Bill's White House to Whitewater, her role in the education system in Arkansas before Bill ran for president - her being under fire in Bosnia, her supporting NAFTA and her opposing NAFTA all at the same time. She is a walking lie.

Which Americans Maya - 30% who will vote for her. 20-25% of Democrats will not vote for her regardless. The other 50% is probably broken up by 90% who will never and 10% who will because they are passionate about fiscal issues. She does not have the demographics to win and if she did, it would be even more divided than during Bill's administration.

She is as trustworthy as Charles Keating. As loyal as a rabid dog. She cares as much as a mercenary. Your judgment is seriously questioned as a result of your support for her. I have some doubt that you possess very much sense given your miserable judgment with this woman.

More Education Please

From the early 1980s, the federal government has pumped billions into sex education. State governments have pumped hundreds of millions into sex education. Doctors, nurses, television programs, actors, and others have made clear the issues of sex ed and STDs. With all that education, I would profer the following:

No sentient being living in the United States, Canada, or Europe missed an opportunity to know or be told, be made aware or knowledgeable about STDs and or pregnancy. No one who wanted to know or was able to learn or understand and comprehend, was unable to know/learn or comprehend the facts.

Yet, according to the AP, November 13, 2007 - US Sets Record in Sexual Disease Cases.


Why?
And do not say we need more education or more money.

Why?????

Leave it to the English

The cover page of the Daily Mirror (http://www.mirror.co.uk/) from January 21, 2005, Friday is quite interesting on several levels.

3 stories on the front page. And before anyone suggests the Daily Mirror is a tabloid/rag, forget it, I am aware, but it is also one of the most read papers in England so forget whether it is quality stuff, that ain't the point.

Story 1, far left column - something about Jennifer Aniston - Is the Strain getting to Jen. I don't care if she is stressed.

Story 2, the major story along the top of the page (above the fold) - Mr Un-Credible ... and Bush is still on the warpath.

I suppose I should look up the news of the day to find out what they may be refering to, but given the fact there is no credibility issue, if one is intellectually honest and not a beacon for retarded rodeo clowns.

The third article - Drink Drive Girl, 12 ... and her family don't care. The story goes - A girl of 12 was nearly twice the drink limit when she was stopped at the wheel of her father's car.

The English prefer their stories tainted by politics to dealing with what I would consider a far more serious issue for them - their social system is collapsing. And before you jump around like stupid from the stupid tree, I understand one case does not a social collapse make else the US would implode for we have Jerry Springer and his band of retarded rodeo clowns. No, it is a more serious issue for the English - girls at 14/15 who have had more than a dozen abortions and the state (county government) is more concerned with STDs than with an issue that slaps them everytime they turn around.

No, they have some very serious issues and they would prefer to play up idiotic nonsense with such witless commentary as Mr Un-Credible.

It is their choice, but then when they fail and someone is called to pull their butts out of the oven, again, why should we. What you witless wonders will accomplish with all this bashing of yours is not a regime change (made you smile) but a very defiant attitude to never help you again, when the time comes, and bank on it, it will come.
