Or maybe it was cell phones that should not be near the head when switched
on.


Whatever.


I need to start a viral pseudo science hoaxmail stating in the most
official language, graphics and sources that texting causes sterility.
The youngsters who are products of the government spoiled education
system will be so happy because they are now protected from infections.

You got that right about the "government spoiled education system" but
maybe not for the reasons you think.

The Christian Fundamentalistshave infiltrated the Government, from
White House (Bush; maybe Obama? I hope not) to the State Department to
the Military.* to that whorehouse called Congress, to state and local
authorities.

Far from teaching young people factually how their bodies work -- like
those European countries that have such school programs (and much
lower rates of disasters) -- we pay taxes to have fantastic,
unscientific legends promulgated by the Radical Religious Right.

Ex: The Bush "abstinence only" programs cost us a lot of money and
did absolutely no good. In fact, reliable research shows that there
are MORE unwanted pregnancies, STDs and AIDs among these poor
youngsters who have been brought up on Fundamentalist spin. Add to
that the current campaign by the Congressional Mad Dogs to de-fund
Planned Parenthood, and you have the perfect recipe for disaster.
Unwanted babies; sexually-transmitted diseases, and the horror of AIDS
that ruins a young person's life till the premature end.

*check out Military Religious Freedom Foundation MRFF.org. You will
be shocked.


Well, the country was founded by religious wackos, they came in boats.
A friends' mother worked for the local board of education here in the
country of Alabamastan and she was shocked and amused that there were
people running things who believed that the Earth was less than 4,000
years old and that man and Dinosaurs occupied the planet at the same
time a la The Flintstones. Psssst! They were Democrats. ROTFLMAO
