One more reason to be a DINK

Well, If your a parent, you just got slapped in the face by Uncle Sam! Seems you don't really have enough sense to know when your kids should be learning about sex. That's something the State is far more qualified to do.

In a recent ruling, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (that be the Left Coast) determined that parents do not have a fundamental right to control when, where and how their children are taught about sex. Rather the state -- in its far greater wisdom about what's right and wrong -- has ultimate power over your kids.

Of all the many reasons to be a DINK, this aspect of raising children has to be the most compelling reason for me. I think if I had kids in public schools (which I wouldn't) I'd likely go on a rampage after this crap. Sure alternatives exist for educating your kids, but those options only solidify my interest in remaining child free. Even if your kids don't go to public school, they will still have to interact with little Johnny and Jill who do. What the hell do you tell your 7 year old when his friends are sharing their stories about when to use a condom, and how its ok for boys and girls or boys and boys, or girls and girls, to touch each other? Are these appropriate problems to have to deal with at 7 years of age? Hell No! But the State says different! Well, this is just one place the DINKs win against the government control.

DINKhood wins... HoooAhh!

The Montgomery DINK Scene

Montgomery is a quaint little big town. A lot like Mayberry, everybody knows everybody. But bigger in geographical scope. We DINKs sometimes have a hard time finding things to do in Montgomery. Most social activities seem to revolve around one extreme or the other. Either people are out on the dating scene, or their attending a youth sporting event. If your scene isn't about getting laid, or dealing with the consequences of having gotten laid, well, your options are kinda slim. Fortunately, us DINKs fit in better with the former rather than the latter, and they are a lot more fun. Check this blog for news of our latest DINK activities. We'll try to keep it humorous and informative, but I'm sure we'll get into a rant from time to time, as we deal with the family atmosphere so ubiquitous in our town. I know my wife will have some comments in that area, so look for rinkydink's posts to be inflammatory occasionally!
