I know you're frustrated with people's complaints about Bush but its rather amazing how nearly everything they did during the past 8 years has made things worse in many aspects of daily life. Take teen pregnancy.........recently, I heard on the news some girls in Gloucester, MA made a pact to each have a baby.....now 17 girls are pregnant in the local high school, 4 times the normal amount. Disturbing as that is, it turns out teen pregnancy is on the rise again after 14 years of declines: Teen Birth Rate Rises in U.S., Reversing a 14-Year Decline washingtonpost.com This is after Congress has blown, I mean spent nearly $200 million on abstinence programs per the desires of the Bush administration while discouraging the use of contraceptives. Once again, its: stupid is as stupid does! People complained loudly that pushing abstinence would not work.....but did you all listen. Of course not. I don't know whether Republicans by their very nature have low libidos but I know, if I am any indication, that liberals are hornier than rats when they are teenagers. In other words, abstinence is as effective in keeping a horny teen celibate as mudpies are satiating the hunger of a starving person. The result is we have teen pregnancies rising again....esp in the poorest states........and you know which ones those are. Its a frigging crime what's happened to this country and someone needs to pay for it. ABB
