Great listen....makes the "value voters summit" crowd sound like what they are - lunatic, extremeist FOOLS. (ie: the American Taliban)

1. I just think it's bad policy
and a little insulting and condescending. What if I don't find a woman to marry until I'm 33? Are they really saying that I should remain celibate until I'm 33?

2. not only bad policy - it's unrealistic
People ain't gonna do that. They're just NOT. It's not human nature to be celibate.

3. Well, supposedly Jesus did.
And gawd gave humans a sex drive that kicks in waaay before 33. Expecting abstinence is insulting, condescending and beyond unrealistic. Silly, actually. If folks want to prevent the consequences of sex, then education is the logical answer. Logic? Oops, I forgot for a second there.
