Bowling and Texans

[flyinbutrs]

Last night, we went bowling at Jox's fundraising thingie. It was really awesome... I mean, not to sound like a jew, but $10 for three hours of bowling, pool tables, and food!! totally awesome. Plus, our drunken bowling shenanigans were videotaped for posterity. I want to see the video. Actually, on second thought, I probably don't want to see

The non-religious-right argument against mandatory HPV vaccinations is that it's too new to really be certain that it's side-effect-free. Plus, the whole government intrusiveness thing.

...in fact, some side effects have already been detected. the content below was copied from a myspace post from a friend who got it from her mom who got it from who-knows-where, but if you follow the links at the bottom they lead to more info at the national vaccine info center website [which i trust

Yeah, the Merckcentric aspect of the whole thing too, for sure.

A friend of mine had two posts in her LJ a month ago that spawned a bit of discussion on the topic. If you're interested: http://janinedog.livejournal.com/546075.html and http://janinedog.livejournal.com/547037.html.

I think that it is fine to give your kids vaccines and not tell them what they are for. Hell, if you tell a child they are getting their MMR shot or their HPV shot, they won't know what those acronyms are (until they look it up on wikipedia or something). The troubling aspect is that the main financial backer pushing legislative reforms that require HPV vaccinations is Big Pharma.

Summary: I don't like genital warts or cervical cancer, but I don't trust anyone or anything, especially the unplanned love-child of industry and politicians.

Bowling and Texans just seem to go together.

Glad you enjoyed yourself. I'd love to get my hands on that footage too, but I doubt a lot of it will be used. Oh well...
