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...

Speaking of time....
It is time for you to be a man Mike Schumacher...
Tell Sam Kooiker and all Rapid City that you, like Judas, took the silver, and sold your friend out.
I predict that before this is over you will have zero credibility, you will loose your council seat and Doug Hamilton will pay you to just go away and be quiet.
It is also time you put your name on your posts,,,like a man.
Signed
Sam's friend, Rick Kriebel
Telling Schumacher apart from Judas would be hard.
Sincerely,
Jennifer L. Schauer
