Leave it to Texas...

Hah. Good luck with that one.

Ahh. I have this thing where I read what everyone writes but in general I don't pay attention to who says what, so knowing you're the OP and the one who Caroline pointed out as having an "agenda" helps me.

FWIW, I agree more with your position -- I think that men and women should have input on each other's health issues, especially in the context of marriage or parenting.

At any rate, I can see her "agenda" comment has you bent out of shape, so I'll just bow out now and let the two of you sort it out. I don't think my interjection helped the matter much.

Thanks...yes, it did bend me out of shape; perhaps more than it should have.

Sometimes people should not try so hard to read between the lines...just read the lines.

OK, how on this forum, does one point out that we are circling a campfire that has long since burned out, will never reach agreement nor convert one another, and therefore should yell "Uncle"?

We say "Hitler!" and "Nazi!"

Insiders say Kayak and pancake wearing bunnies....

Footnote to this (thankfully) dead thread:

"AUSTIN (Reuters) - Texas [Republican] Gov. Rick Perry said on Tuesday he is backing down in his effort to require that pre-teen girls be vaccinated against a virus known to cause cervical cancer after the state's legislature overturned his order.

The February order would have made Texas the first U.S. state to require that girls receive the Merck & Co. Inc.'s vaccine against human papillomavirus (HPV) so they can enroll in sixth grade, when most students are 11 or 12 years old. But social conservatives opposed it, saying it would lead to sexual promiscuity.

The Republican-majority Texas Legislature passed a bill last month contravening the order by preventing the vaccination program for at least four years. Several other states are also considering requiring the vaccine.

Perry announced on Tuesday he would not to veto that bill, meaning it will become law. Perry said a veto was futile because the legislature would vote to override it."
