So our president has declared another 'week'. Well, isn't that peachy keen! Originally, I though the nausea I was experiencing last night and this morning was a sign of the flu, but now I just believe that my body was trying to warn me of impending stupidity in the process of being committed.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think that using children in pornographic material is horrible. However, what Bush is doing is lumping everything together and condemning it out of hand. Sure, porn is what leads to crime, death and Debilitation of Community. Actually, I'm not sure why I'm even surprised at this, knowing Bush.

And the whole ending the speech with "In the year of our Lord...": Am I being overly sensitive if I find that offensive? It does seem to be a somewhat bad choice of words for the president of a country with Freedom Of Religion! *swears under breath*

I'd rant more, but my I'm sure that the point has already been made, elsewhere, so I am now going to go and see if I can keep my lunch down this time around.

Does Dubya think anything sex-related is healthy? Prolly not. Wasn't he also the one who offered government funding to public school Health Education... but only if the school solely promoted abstinence, as opposed to any other method of protection? I could be mixing things up, but I could swear I read this somewhere.

And now that the serious stuff is out of the way: It's so nice to meetcha! *hugs* *tries not to go into total fangirl mode, seeing as you're one of her favorite fanfic authors* *fails, and goes into total fangirl mode*

Ah, abstinence-only sex ed programs! I've heard (though my sources may be faulty) that in places where those pop up, you get an enormously high teen pregnancy rate.

(Also, some of us can't wait for marriage, since some of us can't legally get married, O So-Called President. Jackass. -_-;)

And! Nice to meet you, too! :D *picks up off of floor* Don't worry, I don't bite. I have pretzels for that. ^_^; And I'm a big dork fangirl too, so we can squee over pretty things together. I hope. ^_^

Will do! As soon as I download AIM, that is. I just got rid of AOL, less than three weeks ago, and the experience, while liberating, can sometimes feel like a legitimate house move. ^_^*
