Hey, the government is now trying to do abstinence-only education for everyone that's unmarried and under-30. I guess they weither don't believe in unmarried 34-year-olds, have given up on us, or have decided my eggs arent' fresh enough for it to matter.

What the hell am I talking about?

Agh.

Especially since there's a ton of data showing that abstinence only education DOESN'T WORK.

Agh.

Morons.

Thank god I'm 31...

I will give the administration credit for following through on their ideological targets. If they're going to teach children that the only safe method of birth control is giving up your groin to jesus it doesn't follow that upon reaching 18 years that a condom suddenly becomes a perfectly safe and effective method of birth control and protection from horrible diseases.

Why should kids get to have all the fun of sticking their head in the sand?

This is pure comedy gold. I'm over 30 and not married, so I'm free!!! But to throw our support behind the younger bunch that this bit of nonsense targets, I think me and my intended are going to stage a sex-in tonight.

You know, I should be angry, but I only wonder how on earth this is intended to work. I mean, it's not like most 25-year-olds are taking health classes. Are we going to start seeing abstinence-promoting TV ads? And if that's the case, why aim for only under-thirty, and not everyone who's unmarried?

Wow.

There totally needs to be a counter-campaign that encourages the under-thirty group to have even MORE sex. Sex, sex, SEX!! And more!

What a hoot!

Gawds, I can't even mourn the ridiculousness anymore. I swear, I'm going to start telling people I'm a stranded Canadian.
