You are assuming that sex is an inherently bad thing and that it is inherently good to be abstinent and that anyone who doesn't follow that is a whore.

You can argue that almost anything is possible. How is that a good argument for saying abstinence is an effective policy? That's like saying Prohibition was a good idea because it is possible for people to not drink alcohol. The reasoning is weak at best.

This isn't the 1950's. Not to mention over 15% (and growing) of the country is atheist or agnostic. So why is a Judeo-Christian moral code appropriate for everyone? Why is providing children with information and allowing them to make an informed choice a bad thing?



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.
