I was married in the State of Michigan. Back in the 80’s they passed a law stating that in order to get a marriage license you first had to attend an AIDS public health lecture.
Three hours of my life sitting in a public auditorium in Flint with couples 18-70something watching an NC-17 rated slide show. I learned how to protect myself during activities I NEVER would have thought of in a million years, were it not for the generosity of the taxpayers of the State of Michigan.
I call that dumbing down to the lowest derangement denominator.
