and the beat goes on

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!

Eight hours later the Internet connection is still here! Oh happy day!

What I should really be doing is using my time wisely by printing/saving shit I need for class. Uh, yeah right! I'm going to use this time to do something fun. Because it's 1030 on a Friday and I don't have a thing to do until 1230 on Monday. Oh, have I mentioned that I don't have any classes on Friday? Who gets three day weekends? I do! yay!

I'm going to be having a political state of mind this semester. Well, I tend to have a political state of mind almost all the time but it'll be even more thanks to my class load that contains three poli sci classes. The same as last semester. I'll be expanding my knowledge on women, international relations and theory. Add that to political parties/election, policy, ethnic politics and public opinion/behavior from last year and the intro class freshmen and well, I'm almost politiced out. I just made up that word I think, politiced. I'm probably gonna be done with my minor after this year.

Right. So why I shared I don't know but I like to blame coffee.

Anyway, on the political train I continue. Toot toot. Heeeeeeeeeeeere's what I've been thinking. All those politicians and bible toters who want abstinence taught over sex ed, why don't you do the following? Propose that in order to buy the condoms you have to be 18. It makes perfect sense doesn't it? You don't want the youngins to get down and dirty so by banning the purchase of the condoms than no one in their right mind would go off and have unprotected sex right? Ooooh no my mistake. I believe that's happening anyways because some people weren't educated in the no glove no love rule. It would be a simple solution for the congressman with the constituents that want no their kids to wait until marrige and then squeeze out 7 kids. It would make Mama happy right? Wrong. Actually what would be, in my mind, an easy way to paint a congressman who wants abstinence taught over sex ed would be for a different one to say, "Ok well fine. You want abstinence then I'm going to tack an amendment on that says that the legal age to buy condoms is 18" It would force a conversation that could probably screw the other dude over. 'Least I think so. I think I might have babbled a little bit. Once again I blame the coffee for the incoherent parts.

Um right. Enough with that and well this post.

Oh by the way. The Brewers? Tied for first with the Cubs. Just so you know. I know you were curious. Now your curiosity can be quenched.
