Link: HT Fearsome Tycoon: When STDs are untreatable

Of course Christians traditionally prescribe a set of risk-reducing behaviors that would substantially curtail the likelihood of getting an untreatable sexually transmitted disease.  It's not a 100% failsafe in every case but it's reliable enough that it works.  It is, however, considered "impossible" by lots of people.  Of course it's not really "impossible" it's simply so undesirable it's off the table of any consideration for a lot of people. Well, life, health, sickness and death are all matters of opportunity costs. 

I linked to my essay about Mr. Freeze earlier so why not have a blog post about untreatable veneral diseases?  Happy Valentine's Day, by the way.
