    Here's a new (?, perhaps earlier discussion came before my time)
topic for discussion:

    Given a safe, effective, and long duration (1 year?) birth
control drug, why not make its use semi-mandatory for children
attending public high school? I say 'semi-mandatory' because I
think it is reasonable for a person to be excused for religious
beliefs, or other valid reasons. The idea, of course, is to make
the use of effective birth control the norm (rather than the
exception, as it seems to be now).

    What are your comments/objections/suggestions on the idea ?

    Fire away....
