:: Why I am going to stop reading the news and become a hermit

Where’s my cheese grater? I am speechless about this article regarding a U.N.-financed sex education manual used in South America from the Washington Times, a newspaper I can usually read without having a conniption. Apparently the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has funded production of the manual in El Salvador with “very graphic pictures.” 10 year-olds are seeing this.

The UNICEF-funded manual from Mexico, whose title translated into English is “Theoretic Elements for Working With Mothers and Pregnant Teens,” suggests: “Situations in which you can obtain sexual pleasure: 1. Masturbation. 2. Sexual relations with a partner — whether heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual. 3. A sexual response that is directed toward inanimate objects, animals, minors, non-consenting persons.”

Note to self: Check with U.N. personnel office. Find out if Satan is actually on the payroll or if he’s volunteering.
