Maybe I phrased the question wrong... what I meant was, when it comes down to abstinence-only education vs. sex education... don't you think that sex education would have helped Palin's daughter to make better decisions, in the end? That is, for me, abstinence education does more harm than sex education, in the long run. That's all I meant. I don't mean to blame Palin for her child getting pregnant--far from it!--but I do think that pretending that kids will stop having sex, just because we preach abstinence at them, is naive. That's what her daughter serves as an example of, that's all. I think the more prepared they are for when they do have sex, whenever that will be, the better off everyone will be.So... even with 4 years of presidential experience beforehand, and all the time he spent as Texas governor, he still turned out to be a dud, right? That's all I'm trying to say about Obama... experience really is not everything. In Bush's case, obviously experience has actually proven to make him a worse president...

Peaches, welcome. It's good to get alternative views going in here... and I hope we are keeping the discussion civil enough for everyone, still.
