You know, I have decided that Republicans must be having far better and way more nasty sparkin’ than we Democrats have.

It’s all they can talk about.  I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with that except they seem to be opposed to it.

One of their most important concerns appears to be about women finding out about s-e-x.  And not far behind that, come children.  The operate under the theory that if you never tell children about s-e-x, they will never, ever figure it out on their own.

And that’s a good thing.

A bill to allow Utah schools to drop sex education classes — and prohibit instruction in the use of contraception in those that keep the courses — moved significantly closer to becoming law Wednesday. The House passed HB363 by a 45-28 vote after a late-afternoon debate that centered largely on lawmakers’ differing definitions of morality.

Morality?   How come morality never comes up in sewing class or arithmetic?  How comes it only comes up in health class?  You know, the class that teaches how to live long enough to sew and add things.

“We’ve been culturally watered down to think we have to teach about sex, about having sex and how to get away with it, which is intellectually dishonest,” said bill sponsor Rep. Bill Wright, R-Holden. “Why don’t we just be honest with them upfront that sex outside marriage is devastating?”

Okay, I don’t want to be mean and unnecessarily cruel, but sometimes you need to be necessarily cruel.  Look at the guy.  What you want to bet that is wife is pretty devastated by sex within marriage?

One of the Democrats in the Utah House commented, “not everyone in Utah believes premarital sex is harmful, and it may not be right to ‘force our beliefs down the throats’ of those Utahns.”  At which point Bill Wright had to leave to lock himself in the bathroom for 2 minutes, tops.

I’m telling ya, their s-e-x is much nastier than our s-e-x.

Thanks to Sam for the heads-up.
