The question is now whether the flawed earlier study resulted from the usual problems with broad epidemiological studies or if the study was designed to create the desired result. I'd go with a combination, providing the "scienticians" doing the thing with an alibi.

This shows an interesting way to get govt grants for research without having to prostitute yourself to the Bush Administration. When they let it be known that you'll only get the grant if you find that abstinence is the best solution, give them what they want. Then turn around and give your data to someone who'll put out an honest study.

Shouldn't they be asking the kid what he wants? After all, it's his penis.

what if the administartion labels anyone who has premarital sex "delinquent?" That will cut the legs out from under any scienticians who try to go your way.

Jumping off, the elevator told me today that 10% of all vanity plates in the US are issued in the state of Virginia.

I'm not sure I buy the argument that they should ask the kid what he wants, but holy crap.

Besides, even if the father has converted, the kid is still a goy, unless he himself converts.

What? No pie chart?

Mmmm.... pie.

eta: I just got an email that begins: "Ms. Brazen, Let me preface this correspondence by stating that our firm, in no way, endorses or approves this transaction into which you are getting [our client]."

That. Is. Awesome.

One can only hope.
