I’m not entirely sure why our ol’ buddy J.D. decided to become a moralistic scold today as opposed to the faithful freeper propagandist he usually is, but in a column chastising both teenagers for sneaking around for some activity of a personal nature and parents for turning a blind eye (in his view), he reveals this…There are 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases each year, most among kids between 15 and 24, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This costs the economy about $14 billion a year.Call me a pointy-headed liberal, but I would consider ruined lives that could result due to disease and/or unplanned pregnancies somewhat worse consequences than anything that could befall our economy, but what do I know?
So remember, kids – keep your hands to yourselves or else you’ll endanger our trade imbalance and government entitlements spending, right?
Once more, words fail me.

This is almost as good as Zell Miller's "aborted soldiers" spiel.
Yep...the freepers will never be happy until we're all dependents of one type or another, whether or not that means the military, jail, or chained to a low-paying service job for the rest of our lives.
