It's about health, not potential promiscuity.
As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...

How about a "legislation for dummies"? The current legislature could use a copy.
Claim you are a South Dakota campaign and not from California,
but...
your publicity person is from California,
your web server is in Louisiana
you write letters to the editor about police corruption in Tacoma,
and your website talks about corrupt judges in California, Ohio and South Carolin.
Notice there's nothing South Dakota about any of this?
