Synopsis:

The fact that an untested prevention strategy is being advocated doesn't bother them. Why should it? It replaces Sexcual Victorianism with "Sexual Pluralism." Mission accomplished. Who cares if it works? The Condom Nation is nothing if not slick. In a world of latex, content can be be replaced by style, by "cool." Questions about content are covered over by packaging, by labels, like "abstinence-based," which mean the opposite of what is implied. Words that once hasd clear meanings are made to serve whatever purpose the reigning ideology of sexual "diversity" demands. Words that cannot be reengineered are banished and replaced by nice-sounding terms that obscure the original meanings. Studies are said to support the exact opposite of what they conclude. Much of the public is lulled into feeling of complacency by termsl like "protected sex," assisted by a docile, cooperative mainstream media that often follows a "don't ask, don't tell" policy when it comes to government proclamations of "fact." Parents and groups who question content are vilified, forever banished outside the great latex wall that surrounds government-approved arbiters of reality.
