Plan B is now Plan OTC

Over the counter Plan B is the perfect fix for our generation's ills.

What's more, the "next step" as described by what my mockingly be called "women's advocacy" groups is to remove the age restriction of 18 years on purchases of the Plan B pills.

The mind-blowing hypocrisy of trying to arrange things thusly would result in them not being old enough to score a pack of Marlboroughs at the gas station for that post-coital buzz.

So, the drinking and smoking following high school football games will still be illegal. But at least the emergency contraceptives that these super-responsible high school freshman will use will be legitimately purchased.

I mean, really, why worry about a twelve year old purchasing Plan B?

Don't forget to mention the human element of nervousness or any other emotion that might prevent them from getting the drug because it involves requesting the drug from a pharmacist along with valid ID. There will be people that decide NOT to get it because they can't just quitely pick it up and go along their way.

I really worry about this being another step toward our society completely taking no rsponsibility for their actions or having any self control. But hey, who am I to think that using abortions and the Plan B pill is a pathetic form of birth contorl for those that couldn't a.) keep their pants on, b.) went with the feeling, c.) did not use a preventative form of birth control to stop pregnancy to begin with (depends on your faith), or d.)is a femi-natzi (yes I listen to Rush)

Limits.

Here is a draft I found of something I wrote back in 2007. ................... I'm going to take this moment to sort of speak aloud. Which is really what blogs are for, am I right? A medium of one-sided discussion. I talk, and you listen. Only three or so people ever comment on my blog, so it really is like a one-way conversation. Google Analytics tells me I average about 11.5 (or so?) unique visitors a day, and about half of those are regular readers, and half are people that randomly get to my blog from a Google search or something. On a weekly basis, I end up having about 50 unique visitors. At any rate, the point is that I get to talk, and say stupid things, and you read, smirking to yourself while drinking your coffee. So, what's this post going to be about, Chris? This post is going to be about how awesome I am. Wait, wait - no I'm being serious. I really am awesome. But there will be some humility in this post also, because the second part of thi...

YES! YES! YES!

One of my favorite books is being released as a blockbuster movie - The Gates of Thermopylae . The movie will be called 300 - the supposed number of Spartans who held the narrow pass of Mt. Thermopylae for a number of days knowing they would eventually be smashed and killed to the last man, giving the Greek civilization a time to amass an organized defence from the well nigh million-strong marching force of Persians seething into the region. It's said that the events at Thermopolae were a hinge on which human history itself turned on for a day. Greek thought, very much a part of our foundation as Westerners - rationalism and belief that man is a logical being and can recognize the Truth through correct use of his noodle - survived the attempted murder by superstitious barbarism. You can read up on the Battle of Thermopylae here . It's probably one of the most inspiring stories I know. Told the Persian archers numbered so many that their arrows would blot out the sun, a so...

Australia gets progressive...

I read a story like this and I think to myself about how and why they chose 14 days as the limit. Think about it. It's completely arbitrary. Why not 15 days? Or 16? Or 20? Or 30? Or 100? Or how about 270 days? Wait, that's nine months. That would be barbaric! Really, the only thing that changes is the look of the human after conception. Wouldn't want to allow embryos to be farmed at 15 days! Oh, no! That would be bad! Maybe even... murder! Wait, when does it become murder? After it's born? Or wait, maybe right before it's born... hmm... but nothing changes in the 10 minutes it takes to exit the womb... so it's gotta be before that. Well, 6 months it looks too baby-like, like an actual person, and it cries and squirms as it gets ripped apart during abortions... so maybe like 3 months, or 9 weeks... yeah, something like that. Let's go with 14 days, because it's really small then and doesn't have arms or a head yet. Sounds good. W...
