I am sorry, but society does have an interest in promoting sex education. If that family is poor, the hospitals have to absorb the cost of caring for that child, government absorbs the cost of paying for its education, we have to pay its social security when it is older, etc. Its pure economics.
Not to mention that some parents will not talk about this issue with their children, which can ruin these childrens' lives if they make a bad decision simply because they had no information to make a wise decision with.
What if they contract AIDS because they thought it was only a homosexual disease or they thought that storks bring babies so they did not think having sex would get them pregnant?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
