This message isn't hard; it just isn't as tidy as Just Do It or Just Say No. So Bristol Palin, in all her complexity as target and role model, sitting there with the beautiful baby she wishes hadn't been born for another 10 years, is a perfectly natural messenger.

You mean Bristol is not the reincarnation of Satan? What is wrong with Time?

Bristol is making a good point for sensible conservatism toward the youth!

GO SARAH

Ratner? Please, Fox uses her as the perfect example of what not to do.

Her portrait is painted in this Fox Forum...

Obviously, she is as liberal as liberal comes.

A pox on all the neanderthals who are excoriating Sarah for not putting Bristol in a public pillory. They are actually hoping that Sarah would be a tyrant.

“Do as I say, not as I do” has never been an effective method of education.

Maybe not, but I made a mistake and here are the consequences and if you don’t want to end up like me, you should do all you can to avoid it, does.

Didn’t your school ever have a drug abuse prevention program? Mine did. They brought in some recovering drug addicts to tell us of how drugs ruined their lives. Who would know better?

This beautiful young lady is trying to make a negative into a positive. Give her a break.

My school did have a drug prevention program. Didn’t stop me from drinking and experimenting.

I’m not at all bothered by Bristol’s attempts to educate. I just think the attempts will mostly fall on deaf ears, as most “do as I say not as I do” attempts do.
