Ok It�s been a while since I was a regular poster here and let me tell you all a few things. First, this is a major thread hijack. You have dragged the topic across a desert from what it started.

Second, one of my least favorite problems here in this forum was and is senseless banter and outright argument. The topic or excuse was really irrelevant. The fact that some or all here are more than willing to let it fly without regard to who might be greatly offended, was and still is a great waste of time and counter productive to the good that might come from the association of all of us.

Third, (and my point) I have recently read here a great deal about sex, HPV, Gardisil, rightwing politics, conservative religious points of view. I really want all of you to think out loud that the reward for the �time of free love� (generally Leftist) brought about unprecedented STD impact throughout the 60�s 70�s and 80�s including herpes, AIDS and a host of others. Further, that the Left brought freedom from responsibility via mother�s �right� to choose. This culminating in the unbelievable fact that abortion today is available with no need for parental input to younger than 18 YO girls. Now you want the Right to suddenly accept that a drug for another sexually (by your own admission) transmitted virus should be MANDATED throughout the land (also to very young girls) without scrutiny? Oh it�s about cancer so that should get it under the radar�..The fact is you that have adhered to extreme Leftist politics are as much to blame as any on the Right! Your insistence and persistence in stupid �free love� based lack of prudence, lack of morals, lack of accepting responsibility is why there is a Conservative Right Wing at all!

I suggest that you stop fighting and blaming the Right for anything. If your point is a good one, it is worth explaining why and eventually the Right wing will agree. If this forum sounds like every other Leftist rag then you are going to slow the advancement towards prevention down and you might just send this Right wing survivor back into seclusion.
