OK, Sex is great, but don't do it!

Check out this article from msnbc.com.

Yes, thats right. Bush upped his funding for abstanence-only sex info programs from 39 million dollars to 206 million dollars. Wow, You could buy a lot of condoms for that kind of cash.

Some of the best lines in this are ones like:

"Our program started 11 years ago out of grassroots concern that students were only hearing safe sex messages and didn’t even realize that abstinence was an option,"
-Wow, there is an option to not have sex? I thought sex was mandatory.

And they say that numerous studies of abstinence programs have failed to find any measurable impact. In one of the latest, conducted by researchers in Bush’s home state of Texas and released last month, teen-agers in 29 high schools became increasingly sexually active after taking such courses, mirroring overall state trends.
-Bush can't even see that this doesn't work in his own home state much less the rest of the country.

As long as we're not spending 39 millions on condoms that would be fine. ;)

Michael is 6 so we still have a while to wait until those types of conversations come along. Besides, can't their dad give them some good advice, too? ;)
