A couple of recent columns by Dan Savage provide humorous but irrefutable proof that kids need better sex education in this country. One column focused on the misconceptions that boys have about sex while the other featured letters from women about their misconceptions. Most are funny, though a few are just sad.

Will a planned defense shield defeat real missiles? -- This quick summary at Scientific American reminds me of why I oppose deployment of missile defense: it just doesn't work. The program is a combination of political white elephant and welfare program for the aerospace industry. If real, operational tests were planned earlier in the process I would have much moe confidence in the system. Choosing to rely on simulations and models instead of live testing on a multibillion-dollar program is always a sure sign that something is fishy.
