We had no sex ed at school. (I graduated in 1974.) And we had no sex ed at home either except as it concerned the farm animals. The only thing we learned at home about humans and sex was "Don't!" I guess that would be abstinence only. To this day, I have never had a frank discussion about sex with my mother. And my father would have fainted if I had even broached the subject.
Fortunately I was (and am) a voracious reader. When I want to know about a subject I look it up. My sex ed began at home with The Encyclopedia Britannica and continued at the library through books, and magazines until I grew weary of the subject. Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
