STD's - a blight on America's youth!
Progressives in Hollywood treat young Americans having many multiple partners as funny During the early days of television, no one knew what a sexual transmitted disease was. In fact, in the 1950's the acronym STD could have been an oil additive for a car's engine, at the time one being called STP. While many of today's young adults laugh at the old television families as being out of touch and unrealistic, they are discovering the laugh is on them and it's a barn burner. Today's providers of sexualized content must be held directly responsible for the loss in the quality of life for more than 40,000,000 young Americans, (CDC as of 2001), through television programming that has more to do with propaganda than with entertainment. Bill Clinton best described the media's theme for the new millennium with just six words, when he wrote,"I did it because I could." President Truman's legacy was to end WWII with the slogan, "the buck stops here." President Reagan's legacy was to end the cold war with Russia with his demand, "Take down this wall, Mr. Gorbachoff." Clinton's legacy had nothing to do with America at all when he said, "I didn't have sex with that woman." It was followed by a political cartoon of a presidential seal with a pull-down zipper. Truman's legacy ended in a safer country and world peace. Reagan's legacy ended with a safer country and world peace. Clinton's legacy could be best described by a recent quote from a west coast talk show host who reported on his being suddenly being religious, "Bill and Hillary were never on their knees in the Whitehouse. Someone else was." These three presidents best describe the downward spiral of America over the last fifty years, from protecting the people's business to giving people the business. The habits of our youth are now a reflection of this new age, the price yet to be measured since it will not be resolve for many, many decades to come. The tens of millions of people infected with an incurable STD may have no idea, as their bodies age, that the infection is only the beginning of a whole new lifestyle for them . . . that other diseases wait for them in the wings, during the coming decades, that can spring from their weakened immune system. If they don't get mad about the lies told to them through slick marketing and the promotion or risky sexual behavior through irresponsible television programming, who will?
The previous slogans of youth that "we can do what we want" has sadly turned into despair for a huge part of America's population. The Center for Disease Control's (CDC) most recent press release on STD's now predicts that when today's teenagers reach 25-years of age, HALF will have contacted an incurable STD. A nation cannot stand if a major part of its population becomes permanently diseased. Young adults need to understand what effects a STD can have on their journey through life, hopefully helping others such as loved ones, friends, brothers, and sisters to avoid the infection:
After reading the material provided by the excellent link to the CDC's Web site on the many different varieties of STD's that you didn't know existed and what can develop from the infection as one ages, we can only hope those who are infected will wonder why the media has not accepted the responsibility of what it has done to several generations of teenagers. Some outlets even refuse to warn the general public of the coming medical disaster.
Today's television producers and their network executives continue to promote the image of risky social behavior for better ratings, and in turn more money, glorifying it as being fun while encouraging young viewers to explore different sexual lifestyles through safe-sounding promotions that make their world sound fuzzy, safe, and friendly. As a result, we believe our world today is more dangerous to the future of our children than to those who lived in the revolutionary times 200 years ago. STD's have become such common place in America, that there is even a dating service where they can date each other without infecting others. America's media, its Fourth Estate, has become a propaganda machine promoting ideologies instead of providing safe entertainment, education, unbiased news reporting, and a place where the message protects the society as a whole. It's a blight on our nation's future.
