Bowling and Texans
Mar. 16th, 2007 09:53 amLast night, we went bowling at Jox's fundraising thingie. It was really awesome... I mean, not to sound like a jew, but $10 for three hours of bowling, pool tables, and food!! totally awesome. Plus, our drunken bowling shenanigans were videotaped for posterity. I want to see the video. Actually, on second thought, I probably don't want to see the video.
Also, I was thinking this morning about Texas. Don't ask me why, but I was. So, a month or so ago, Texas' republican governor, Rick Perry, announced that he was requiring doctors in the state to give HPV vaccinations to all (female) schoolchildren. As you might imagine in texas, there was quite a bit of backlash to this. Now, while I don't necessarily agree with the christian right's fear of their children having sex, but I can understand it. What I don't understand, is how giving them an HPV vaccine would hurt? Seriously, I had a crapload of vaccinations and shots when I was a kid... I never had any idea what they were for. How about just getting your kids the injections and not telling them what they are for??
