Addison Clark, there are many who support the condom thing and many who support the abstinence thing. Here’s my take. Just because you give someone a condom doesn’t mean they will use it. But giving it to them may be viewed by the recipient as approval from the provider. There is no guarantee they will use it or use it properly if they do. Kids, the heat of the moment, laugh if you want but mistakes happen. Abstinence may be misunderstood. There are many limits by law, policy or custom, etc., which require a person to reach, for lack of a better standard, a certain age for engaging in specific activities. The logic being one needs the tools of reasoning afforded by being on the planet for some time to act with some intelligence that may be available the longer one has been around and learned. Parents teaching their children that there is a time and place for all things is not a bad idea. That doesn’t mean it will always be successful but we must continue to attempt to develop sound judgment in our children. To abandon the effort is foolish. To never try, absurd.

Yo, Maggie, some reports have convinced me that the McCain camp may in fact not been the ones circulating the trash on Palin. The jury is still out and the reports could be a smoke screen but I have faith this entire situation is similar to many other political stories this campaign season in which all is not as it seems.

Thanks again folks for stoppin’ in and the commentary. You know I love it.

I was shocked at Carl Cameron’s report on this - not that he reported it, but that he reported it in the way he did. He was gleeful and giddy. It was ridiculous from a reporter who seems to believe that his job is of some importance.

It really didn’t matter if it was true or not. It seems these people might have ably brought on a tantrum or two.

How are you doing? Well, I pray. Have a great week.
