- What if a bunch of frat boys gang-raped you, ECG?

- Do you have any contingency plans of what you plan to do if
- you get pregnant as a result??

- And birth-control pills get pretty close, I might add.

- And no driving is safe driving. Why aren't you endorsing
- _that_ as a way to prevent car accidents?
-
- And no electricity use is safe electricity use. You can't get
- an electric shock from anything if no electricity is flowing in the
- first place.
-
- And no cooking is safe cooking since that will _never_ produce
- _any_ cooking fires.
-
- Etc. etc. etc.

-
- STD's are _spread_, not _caused_, by sexual contact. If one
- uses condoms carefully, they are not likely to break. ECG, where did
- you go to school?
-
- Careful selection of partners also helps.
