After all, the Republicans have been elected by a clear majority and twice. It is the Democrats who now thwart progress and engender Gridlock. But now I see that I am wrong, and it took a little-noted development in our nation's capital to enlighten me. True the Republicans have temporarily finagled a majority in Congress, and they are in possession of growing majorities throughout the states. Yet that does not invalidate a fabulous fact that the likes of Gephardt and Daschle know well, to wit, liberals are right and have been right on every enthusiasm they have advocated for decades.
Conservatives are wrong and often inhumane.
What evoked this insight in me is a recent series of stories about a very happy event here in the District. All the conservatives' pessimism about educating our young in the mysteries and discipline of sex has been mistaken and probably inhumane. Children as young as nine years of age have mastered sex, even safe sex. According to the aforementioned news stories Washington's Martha Winston Elementary School has become a veritable show case of effective sex education. It was all voluntary.
