Sex And The Prudes, Just Say "No"
March of the Hypocrites
"Bush's Sex Scandal" is the title of a column in today's NY Times by Nicholas D. Kristof. Amidst the draconian cuts in social programs in the president's budget, there is one that has been allocated almost three times the funding it received in 2001--- "abstinence only" sex education!
This is another payoff to his conservative base by the president. No surprise there. But Kristof's article makes holes in the argument that the abstinence program has been a success.
Abstinence
***************
(Before sex)
"Dennis: Look, even if you did get pregnant, I'd marry you.
Odette: Do you believe in centralized government or states' rights ?
Dennis: What?
Odette: I just want to know the kind of guy I'm marrying.
Dennis: I'm starting to get the distinct impression you don't want to do this anymore."
From Sarah Kernochan's 1998 film "Strike"(also released as "All I Wanna Do")
