Yeah, exactly what I am talking about! I just don't get abstinence-only education... what's the harm in giving information? If parents raise their kids right, then someone teaching them about sex in school isn't going to make a dent in the kid's risky sexual behavior. The parents' influence is going to be stronger, whether that's positive or negative. It's when the parenting goes wrong at home, AND the kid gets no information at school, that it all goes to shit and they start racking up STD's and the like. I just think that somewhere, home or school, someone's gotta give the kid information about what happens between a penis and a vagina, a mouth and a penis, a penis and an anus, etc. Unfortunately, many parents don't even want to bring it up or talk about it, because of their own issues about sex. Which is why the whole thing is so frustrating... (not talking about you at all, Shani, just going off further on my opinion about abstinence-only education).
Yeah, I guess that whole war thing terrified the hell out of me, far more than anything I can imagine Obama doing, but we can have different opinions.

Once again, I'm just so glad to see you posting about Politics, hooray!!! The Ladies' Lounge is where it's at...
