Congress has once again voted to continue funding a $50 million dollar abstinence-only sex "education" program, despite the fact that their own commissioned study and common sense have told the world that abstinence-only programs are ineffective. It's time to face the facts and admit that they're more about religion than science. As long as teens can't demonstrate the self-control to keep themselves from attending Dane Cook films, do we really think they'll have the willpower to stop themselves from having sex? If only there were some kind of sensory-blocking rubber sheath they could place over their heads when watching Good Luck Chuck. The technology is there, science. Make it happen. More details here.
