Hi Kevin,
Since his heroic return from 'Nam, has John McCain handwritten anything? Has he used a phone keypad? Has he initiated or terminated a phone call?
John McCain was 31 years old when he was brutally checked in to the Hanoi Hilton. He didn't know how to type then, and, by his own admission, he doesn't know how to type now—irrespective of the horrific trauma that he endured.
Neither you nor I know the extent of John McCain's wartime disabilities. But we do know that he can write, use a phone keypad, and handle the dexterous demands of a phone call. Given those skills, McCain's computer illiteracy is inexcusable in such an innovative era of software accessibility.
So, Barrack Obama wants to sully the minds of children with explicit sex?
There's more to the story...
Yes, the curriculum is explicit in the sense that it is candid and truthful. Do children have to attend?
No. Indeed, the bill explicitly (no pun intended) stated that parents/children could opt out of the program (see
here). My daughters (31, 28, 26, and 20 [I also have an almost-13-year-old son]) asked and learned about human reproduction at very young ages, and they've grown into remarkably intelligent and healthy adults (if I were purely partisan, I'd also add:
no teen pregnancies—
*oops!*).

Back to Palinsanity... (
*oops!*, again...)
Kevin, Sarah Palin's incessant retelling of the "bridge to nowhere" is a lie—period. Palin supported the earmark
before she became governor and
after when the Alaskan congressional contingency sent the earmark to the House. Not until public and congressional outcries echoed from the oil-enriched northern slopes did Palin kill the project—and even then, she "graciously" accepted the first installment of the earmarked $200,000,000.00+.
Kind regards,
