Reply #3: Yeah. It appears to be Bush's new abstinence (from sex) [View All]

program being pushed via "faith-based initiatives" . . . I also note the ad for Newport cigarettes which is a typical ad in African-American neighborhoods . . . more blacks smoke Newports than any other group of American ppl.

All-in-all, yes, I can see where you WOULD be upset. There's a hell of a lot in this photo to get upset about . . . sex education (as abstinence) shouldn't be broadcast on billboards. Instead, sex education should be taught in public schools with condom distribution and with full education about AIDS and "safe sex" !!

What a damn embarrassment this stupid ad is. This so-called "abstinence" federally funded program ($100 million federal taxpayers monies) will only increase AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases as well as pregnancy in teens and 20-somethings. How tragic can it get? Bush and his hypocrisy, again, is demonstrated for all to see.
