If you want to find the truth you have to accept that everyone spins: Left, Right, Center. There's no substitute for the hard work of reading as much as you can and trying to determine the facts with careful research and thinking.
I recently saw another instance of your kind of "thinking". The research of Will and Ariel Durant on 18th century France was dismissed out of hand - despite the fact that the Durants were great scholars and have a 20 page list of original sources to back their statements - because the Durants were supposedly "COMMIES".
If you can't think for yourself but must have others approve your reading list then you're no different than the political correctniks whom you derisively label as sheep.
Bill's legacy finally revealed.
And if the UN wants to distribute sex books to the kiddies, they can probably get a hellofa deal on THIS gem:

Second article I've seen on this and no one wants to tell us who the author is. Odd.
Hahaha, protect the children huh? Let's see what the book says
Situations in which children can obtain sexual pleasure: 1. Masturbation. 2. Sexual relations with a partner - whether heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual. 3. A sexual response that is directed toward inanimate objects, animals, minors, non-consenting persons.Counseling on sexuality, pregnancy, methods of contraception, abortion, infertility, infections and diseases
Lesbian sex as an acceptable alternative for girls. According to the book, "There is no ideal or perfect relations between two or several people. The one that gives us the most satisfaction and that which is adopted to our way of being and the style of life we have chosen.."
It's time has come!
Anyone who advocates "flexibility on life" (i.e., killing of the innocent) has no business lecturing the rest of us on children's rights.
Anyone who advocates "flexibility on life" (i.e., killing of the innocent) has no business lecturing the rest of us on children's rights.
The book says it "can" happen. Does it say it "should" happen? (Not that it's a good idea to discuss these things with young children anyhow, other than general warnings about protecting themselves from molesters. Curiosity killed the cat.)
Tempers Flair as Child Summit Negotiations Go Down to Wire
¨
The controversies over the provision of abortion for children and the proper definition of the family, which have dogged the year-long preparatory process of the Special Session of the General Assembly on Children, still remain unresolved as the actual Special Session nears completion. Negotiations at UN headquarters continued through Thursday night as delegations scrambled to reach some agreement on these contentious issues in order to complete the outcome document. The Special Session ends today, and no agreement has yet been reached.¨ The United States, the Holy See and Muslim countries including Sudan, Iran and Pakistan, have remained steadfast in their unwillingness to accept language that promotes abortion. Yesterday, the European Union, which, along with Canada and the Latin American countries, has been the major proponent of extending access to abortion to adolescents, appeared to have softened its stance on abortion-related language. The EU at least temporarily acceded to removing the phrase "reproductive health services" from the document, which a Canadian delegate in June had admitted included abortion. This move angered some countries in favor of such language so much that they formed a new negotiating block called the Like Minded Group, to counter any potential compromise between the EU and US.
¨ Frustration has grown as the this week's deadline has loomed closer. Because of budget restrictions at UN headquarters, some night-time negotiations have taken place at the German Mission. German officials used this opportunity to block pro-life and pro-family NGOs organizations from their normal involvement in the UN process. German Ambassador Hanns Schumacher, who is acting as a chairman for negotiations, told a meeting of delegates that the German security guards had been "seriously assaulted" by NGOs. When confronted after the meeting, Schumacher admitted that no assault has taken place, but he refused to apologize for the statement, or to issue a public retraction. Instead, he said that he was "appalled and offended by the fact that you are criticizing us. I have offered the hospitality of the German mission when I don't have to do so...I will not accept statements of this kind."
¨ The New York Times has blamed the Bush administration for holding up negotiations, stating that "Differences over abortion and sex education continued to distance the Bush administration from many of the other delegates..., complicating efforts to draft a final declaration..." The New York Times also mentions the Bush administration's desire to include abstinence-training as one of the means to reduce the AIDS epidemic. The Times quotes a Dutch official who calls such stands "irresponsible."
¨ A US diplomat, however, contends that the US has negotiated in good faith for a document that truly protects children. The delegation's efforts to provide strong provisions against child pornography and child prostitution, and to protect children from armed conflict, were all rejected by other countries, including the EU countries.
