Roanoke Times, 8/30/06, Pg A 9: Large article with Graphic of young girl getting a shot. Girls’ back-to-school checkup may be early for new (HPV) vaccine.
Early because its not available in volume and most insurance programs are not covering it.

Note: HPV is a common STD which older folks used to call a VD before that term became PC.

The Editors of the Roanoke Times have been on a steroid-strength frenzy publishing sex based articles the past several weeks!
The down-side is that they’re all focused on providing messages that the adverse consequences of promiscuous and unprotected sex can be simply fixed with pills and shots and the only problem is getting George Bush out of the way!

What a joy. First we had to explain to our children what Bill and Monica were doing. Then we had to explain what the Broke Back boys were doing. Now we’re explaining to 9 year old girls that they need a series of three shots so that when they get a little older and have promiscuous unprotected sex they will have a reduced chance of getting HPV.

For 50 years the liberals have been telling us how wonderful it is that sex is now so open and accessible and without guilt and free and available and how the sexual revolution was more important to our society and the welfare of our people than the industrial revolution. If it feels good – do it!

Perhaps all change is not positive! You think?
