Actually, I giggle uncontralably (ask anybody!) and switch into flame-mode. The walls of the kitchen in my dorm are papered with print-outs of Ken's stuff (sans MY commentary) and provide hours of enjoyable paradoy for the residents. >Your style is not my style, Mr. Arndt... >...But aside from the ad hominem stuff, >you're a terrific writer, and I like your style.

I think it's a great idea. In my school they called it "sex education" and also taught about (horrors!) birth control.

No, it's not "dirty pool" -- it's sensationalism. Maybe I should go parade in front of an operating room carrying pictures of people having their appendixes removed etc. >Show the pregnant woman on the way to the clinic >what she's REALLY doing, and she may not go through with the abortion.
