“Don‘t have sex with anyone under 30“ - Uncle Sam
This would be funny if it wasn’t part of the pattern of people in charge going too far again …
From USATODAY.com via Attytood:
The federal government's "no sex without marriage" message isn't just for kids anymore.Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.
The government says the change is a clarification. But critics say it's a clear signal of a more directed policy targeting the sexual behavior of adults."They've stepped over the line of common sense," said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a Washington, D.C.-based non-profit that supports sex education. "To be preaching abstinence when 90% of people are having sex is in essence to lose touch with reality. It's an ideological campaign. It has nothing to do with public health."
Wake me when its over.
