I worked in prevention and recovery under the Clinton Administration.
When Bush and Ashcroft took over Washington, one of the first things they did was to defund any and all "harm reduction" approaches because, in spite of government studies which showed an exponential difference in success rates between them, they simply didn't fit into their narrow world views.
That is the moment that I realized that the TRUE AND PRESENT DANGER to Americans was the enemy within.
I applaud President Obama's initiative to defund abstinence only and to shift that funding toward education. Too bad it took over 15 years of dismal failure for them to realize that the truth was staring them in the face in the guise of an extensive cost study program that I was a part of, and that they buried as an inconvenient truth.
And though I am glad to see the slumbering morons awake, I have little doubt that there will be an onslaught of criticism of this move and likely unrelenting efforts to reverse it by any means necessary.
The TRUTH is CONSERVATIVISM is the real ever present threat to human life within the boarders of the United States of America.
