Uncle Sam's Legal Eagle Spam

The US District Court of Appeals has been upholding a bad policy since 2007. It's a bad policy because it's unrealistic. In short, the US gov is requiring all agencies that receive AIDS/HIV prevention funds to uphold the US position to prohibit prostitution and sex trafficking. Prostitution has been around for thousands of years if not more. Longer in fact, that any current government and probably longer than any extant religion. No proclamation of a 200 year old government is going to change it. It seems so elementary that I'm going back to the basics to answer it. We need a realistic policy that's rooted in the basic facts, to wit:

Look here, Uncle Sam,
and belay your legislative spam.
History shows us just what is true,
that people are people, and people do screw.

They'll bang behind bushes,
They'll bang on a bus,
unhindered by muss,
not heeding your fuss.

They'll lay who they like,
be they Suzie or Mike,
and ignore your objections,
and puritanical projections.

So teach people safety,
when getting it on.
Denial has gone on,
much, much, MUCH, too long.

Let all babies be wanted,
and trouser bugs be squashed.
Let people be safe and happy
when getting wacky in the sacky.

Begin with the facts,
when discussing the beast with two backs.
It's really important to get this right,
because we all know what all those people will be doing tonight.

Truly excellent poem! And for more on the issue at hand, check out the timeline here. It all just confirms for me that sex legislation always reaches too far.

mod files to acceptable videos by most media player including i
- Phone, i - Pod, Apple TV, PSP, Zune, Blackberry, Creative Zen, etc with no quality loss.
There are Blu-ray home theater systems which have the capability to
stream Netflix, Pandora, You - Tube, or other media applications, apple tv and Roku XD
is technology that basically gives you the option to not have to pay
for a Blu-ray player. For example, last year the media industry executives said Apple
has been considering whether to launch subscription television services.

The Dell Streak packs in a 1GHz Snapdragon ARM-based processor made
by Qualcomm, 5MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash, VGA front-facing camera,
integrated 3G + Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a micro - SD expansion slot for up to 32GB of
storage. I can hook up to the internet several
ways - with the wireless ability it's, or tethering for you to my cellphone or, if you've got a Blackberry working version 5 as well as above you should use
the Fill to access the net while about. These efforts are incredibly obvious when it comes to the Playbook's strengths as a traveling device.
