I just want to see how they'll blame this on liberals...

"Texas teens are significantly more likely to have sex, drink alcohol and drive drunk than their peers nationwide, according to a report released Friday."

I'm not going to pretend to know why exactly that would be, but it might be that Texas has high rates of poverty and instead of teaching responsibility prefers to preach abstinence (from sex and drink). Or not. But I'm sure conservative bloggers are already starting on a theory linking this to liberalism. I'll let you know if I find it.

But see, this just proves that our abstinence-only programs haven't yet been able to correct the years of a culture of permissiveness that went on before their enactment!

I think generally those numbers hold true for the Southern states as well. Which should be a lesson on the effectiveness of simply telling people not to do "bad" things, but nobody seems to learn that lesson.

Ah, that's too funny. I bet some people say those same things in complete seriousness.
