I live in a locale that unfortunatly has been blasted with an "Abstinence Awareness" campaign sponsored by the state Dept of Health. Certainly it looks like a massive waste of taxpayer dollars when the "Abstinence: Mission Possible" commercial appears immediatly followed by a Trojan condom commercial (now they heat on contact!). This of course is in stark contrast to the absolutly impotent (pun) state of the current health education portion of the public school district.
I always wonder how much safe sex education training a teacher could get for the cost of the huge billboard depicting the evils of premarital sex I see every time I leave work. I also begin to wonder when parents stoped becoming responsible for educating their children about real life. It just seems like there is way to many people who expect to give the birds and bees talk right before their "baby" walks down the isle.
Enough ranting. I just wish the government would give me the option to burn the money I give in taxes that normally goes to empty and fruitless public service programs. It certainly would get more peoples attention than the billboards.
By the way, for a fun second-term drinking game, chug a beer every time you hear the phrase, "...contentious but futile protest vote by democrats." By the time Jeb Bush is elected president you will be so wasted you wont even notice the war in Syria.
