Cindy McCain, Beer, Bristol and Social Conservatives.

Though it's highly unlikely that Sarah Palin has actually viewed my blog, she has taken heed to the advice of someone. She had a dark brown chanel inspired suit the other day and a navy suit this week. Her hair looks very well conditioned and well kept. She doesn't have that, "I just got a call from John McCain to be his VP so I rushed out of bed look".

Now on to a more pressing matter. Has anybody ever stopped to wonder why social conservatives would rally behind a man that has been made rich off of his wife's multi-million dollar inheritance from the world's largest producer of beer? Well, it just occured to me yesterday how much of a contradiction it is being that thousands of people, especially teens and young adults, are killed in car crashes related to binge drinking. Beer is a HUGE component in binge drinking. Just in case it didn't occur to anyone else, I just thought I would point that out.


Go ahead, carry along. Don't have nothing else to say about the beer subject.

Now, on to Bristol.
I won't talk about Sarah Palin's daughter being pregnant out of wedlock except for the fact that she is very lucky to be born in this era. Back in the day, teenage mothers would get kicked out of their families. Boy have we changed. On that note though, it doesn't make a compelling case for abstinence education. I support abstinence but I also think teens need to know the full extent of how their choices could change their lives. We all know they will still have sex, that's where protection comes in. Maybe we should blame movies like "Juno". Maybe we should blame MTV. Or, maybe we should blame the parents for being too uninvolved or overlyprotective of their children. In Bristol's case, she probably thought (like most kids do) that it could never happen to her and she's invincible. I know I did. But, thank GOD I was spared from teen pregnancy and STDs. At the same time though, I wasn't raised in a conservative home that valued virginity. My mom never talked to me about sex or what could happen if I engage in it. If she would have, I may have waited a little longer and said "no" to those who took advantage of me. I was just a lucky one that made it out alive.
