This 'no thursdays' things is amazing. It's like the weekend starts on wednesday :) I'm finally settling on a routine (finally!) and I'm writing mostly on weekends. The Redux thing is coming along, though a lot slower than I first thought, I'm going back and forth to edit quite a lot. I want to finish the tantrum scene today, Clark daddying got on my way last weekend.
In RL news, there's a big unrest going on about some biology books on sexual educations that our public schools are giving kids. The books are 'too liberal' and parents and church are having a fit over then because they explain to teenagers that there's many ways for sex to be consumed, how to prevent disease, that you don't have to feel ashamed as long as you don't harm others and you feel comfortable with what you do, etc. I usually try not to pitch in about this kind of discussions because my views on sex are not exactly mainstream, but I thought those books were neat. Sure, teenagers shouldn't be encouraged to have sex because they are rather stupid and usually very irresponsible, but the thing is? teenagers are already having it. People are kind of crazy if they think that not telling kids the dangers of unprotected sex, be it homosexual or heterosexual intercourse, is going to make sex go away. Teenagers watch porn, people. Teenagers experiment. School is supposed to give you information, and truth is, in a country like mine, sex is viewed as taboo. Most parents neglect sexual education. I know mine did, and my parents are educated, smart people. They just never felt comfortable talking to me about it, so they didn't. What they did give me was an education of responsibility and a sense of awareness of how what I do affects not only me but others. That education I had at home is weaved into my unorthodox views on sex. I still don't think the way I learned about those things was the best way (some sex ed in school that was kind of vague, books, porn, the net, friends, etc), but what the hell, I turned out fine. Raise your kids well, and they will most likely turn out fine, not matter what they watch in TV, read, hear, see, etc.
In any case, what totally threw me off this morning was this article in the paper about how this liberal sexual education was promoting things like 'early sexual activities in teens, teen pregnancies, irresponsible sex, the spread of sexual diseases and masturbation'. Erm. I can't believe people put masturbation right there with sexual diseases in the 'Bad things chart' ... honestly, wtf. Not only do I not believe that accurate, detailed sexual education does not promote teen pregnancy or sexual diseases (isn't the point exactly the opposite?) but masturbation is not a bad thing. It gets on my nerves. They are not opposing sexual education, they just want it to go back to the vague, quick 'so, yeah, mommies and daddies who love each other very much..' thing. Because saying that sex can be had by yourself, males with males, females with females and males with females? SODOMA AND GOMORRA! not another river in Egypt, oh no.
Also, tomorrow night we have the Independence Day big festivities. With the country being in the crazy state it is, with our elected president and the other guy who refuses to acknowledge he lost, if anything is going to blow up, it's probably going to be tomorrow. Here's to hoping there won't be civil unrest nor victims.
