USAF & The Ultra Violent Video Game

U.S. Air Force Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) "Predator" and "Reaper" pilots sit in comfortable booths in the United States. Their UAVs armed with high resolution cameras and missiles prowl the air space above Iraq and Afghanistan. Then the cool, no sweat pilots press a button on their "joystick" and send down laser guided bombs to the unsuspecting below. The victims include combatants, civilians and hapless flora and fauna. This is followed by the pollution of smoke and the detritus of the organisms. At the end of the work day, the "pilot" of the ultra violent video game goes home for a completely different experience. That's cold.

The 16th century writer John Lyly said, " The rules of fair play do not apply in love and war". That's his opinion. The lovers or combatants are either diminished or are enriched by the way they played the game.

Feminists, Free Love, Teenagers & Sexually Transmitted Diseases

According to the recently released report from Centers For Disease Control, " One of every four teenage girls in America has a sexually transmitted disease". The CDC data was collected from more than 800 randomly selected girls. Even girls who were still technically "virgin" are contracting the STD's through oral sex.

Mothers day for this generation will have an asterisk. Such is part of the legacy of the 1960's free love and feminist movement. The high priestesses of feminism Gloria Steinham and the late Betty Friedan and others should be reevaluated with a negative bias. Also, remember former President and father Bill Clinton's protest, " I didn't have sex with that woman". He was parsing "sex"to exclude the oral kind so to "legally" avoid prosecution. He had genital herpes at the time acording to Monica Lewinsky's testimony.

I wonder how many young girls and boys were listening to Bill's and Monica's blow by blow discription of the arguments for and against oral sex? STD's are a reality that have the potential to bring the whole society down. It's time for discrimination and critical thinking by our youngsters and the parents who care. Avoid disesaed individuals and that includes the sloppy thinkers who are critical of discrimination because it's not politically correct.
