Alaska continues to be plagued by embarrassingly high rates of sexually transmitted diseases. We are consistently in the top 10 for gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia. These are preventable diseases that spread due to rampant, multi-partner sexual behavior, which is unmoored from any sense that abstinence until marriage is possible, and even preferable.
In fact, widespread acceptance of abstinence until marriage is the one solution that would actually eliminate Alaska’s STD problem.
You’d think the State Health Department might mention that possibility – even in passing – but you’d be wrong. A recent alert about Alaska high STD rates is deafeningly silent on abstinence and marriage. Why?
Why must every public health solution embrace the notion that we are mere beasts, driven solely by animal urges and incapable of exercising free will for a higher good?
Perhaps the state bureaucrats who run inner bowels of the massive health department think abstinence and marriage are antiquated, religiously informed viewpoints, and as such must be systematically ignored – even in the face of stark reality.
If the state is going to spend its resources promoting free condoms and endless testing, someone ought to tell the underlings to at least include a token link on abstinence and marriage.
Just a thought.

Answer:
Because all bureaucracy is purposefully populated with communists. These people have taken over at every level of government, medicine and education, and and their goal is to fundamentally transform our culture into a godless, statist society. Religion, God and traditional values are anathema to them. They will reject traditional values at every turn and champion godless values to bring about their version of utopia. The bigger question is this: Why did Dunleavy, who ran as a solid conservative, allow these departments to be headed by communists? He could have chosen leaders who reflected his STATED values (what he told us he stood for), but instead he did nothing and let the communists grow like a fungal infection. If/when we ever get another “conservative” in the office of governor, he or she MUST clean house! Yes the libs will howl like dogs at feeding time, but, oh well. That is the spoils of winning… a spoil Dunleavy has squandered.
Welcome to the liberal approach to life, having drag queen story time at a public library and drag queen shows at the Alaska Native Heritage center, no gender bathrooms, males in female sports, sex changes, abortions, queer parades. Good job liberals, the entire country is screwed up because of your perversion.
