Surprise, surprise. There are those voting against their interests!

In other news, there's an election today. And it will be CLOSE

Not all sex education. There is not much evidence to suggest that "Abstinence only" education prevents pregancies or STIs. In fact, it might do more harm than good.

Abstinence only doesnt work. Period.


(Note I am abstinent and I admit that abstinence only doesnt work)

What do you think of this?

I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not. It seems to me that Republicans/Conservatives/Tea Party are much more active than Democrats/Liberals in working social media etc.

I voted in Michigan, and it was surprisingly easy. Might be that I timed it right between the morning rush, and the lunch time rush, or that my community is older leading to a lot of absentee ballots. Either way I was in and out in 20 minutes, actually waited longer at the McDonald's for breakfast.

Now's the hard part of the waiting game.

thank you.

[Paradox]

Yeah, I went in at about 7:10 and it took about a half hour or more with the "just opened" rush. Ordinarily I'd have waited a bit, but I was awake and thinking about it and got it out of the way. I usually go in mid morning, 10-11 or so, and it's empty.
