"Safe Sex" is a Bust

As you may guess from that title, there is a conservative rant coming up here. Read at your own risk. A few weeks ago we heard that 1 in 4 girls may be infected with STD's of some sort, and then one of Obama's campaign points is that he doesn't want his daughters "punished" with a baby or STD's if they should make a "mistake". I wonder if society will start to consider whether what we've been doing is really working. I doubt it, but personally I think modern sexual ethics is a train-wreck and I am not convinced that even dropping millions of condoms from the skies on a weekly basis will stop the spread of disease, lower illegitimate birth and abortion rates. I'm not sure why that isn't obvious to everybody else. Or why it's not obvious that our young people, particularly girls, are suffering the emotional and psychological consequences of rampant promiscuity on top of the more visible physical disasters. The problem is, the real solution requires self-restraint, which means it will never be accepted by the majority.
