I know there are some serious stats which are very frightening (the HIV ones are scary), but I have to say: why am I not suprised the electric chair was invented by a dentist?

I never liked lipstick. It tasted yucky and felt yucky. I guess I know why.
What is so amazing about the HIV stats is even after knowing how young people are more at risk for contracting HIV/AIDS; the Conservatives want to keep Sex Education out of the schools. Condom is a dirty word to them! I mean kids are going to have sex; they shouldn’t have to play for it with their lives!
