No more sex??

So, some schools want abstinence only education. And some schools want the theory of evolution taught alongside the "theory" of intelligent design. (Humans just sprung up...no sex involved there)
Government web sites have had abortion linked to breast cancer.
And now...even public television has been caught in the fray about sexuality.

This is an excerpt from the NYTime

The Plot Against Sex in America by Frank Rich December 12

.
............ Channel 13 killed a spot for the acclaimed movie "Kinsey," in which Liam Neeson stars as the pioneering Indiana University sex researcher who first let Americans know that nonmarital sex is a national pastime, that women have orgasms too and that masturbation and homosexuality do not lead to insanity. .............
............. a public radio station in North Carolina, WUNC-FM, told an international women's rights organization based in Chapel Hill that it could not use the phrase "reproductive rights" in an on-air announcement. In Los Angeles, five commercial TV channels, fearing indecency penalties, refused to broadcast a public service spot created by Los Angeles county's own public health agency to counteract a rising tide of syphilis. Nationwide, the big three TV networks all banned an ad in which the United Church of Christ heralded the openness of its 6,000 congregations to gay couples.

Welcome

This blog is about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

So, today, the good is I am alive, my home is warm, the bills are paid, the family is healthy and I am in a very happy relationship with my husband.

The bad is my youngest kid got a bad report card .

The ugly is Don Rummy Rumsfeld trying to explain why it's ok for troops to be held in Iraq with a STOP LOSS order.
