Percentage rule


A daily chart in the article about car ownership states that “LUXEMBOURG'S roads are jammed with 647 cars for every 1,000 people, the highest ownership rate in the world.” Pretty scary statistic but not as daunting as the number of teens in our local high school.

There are over 2,400 single available teens running loose in our public school which means each teen has exposure to about 1,200 single, available members of the opposite sex six hours a day, five days a week.

Is it any surprise then that the success rate of teen dating is so low? How in the world are they equipped to chose the right one with no guidance, no coaching, no inspection and no facts about this person’s past beyond gossip.

I would love to see a law passed through Congress that every Middle and High School has to post a Warning that “You are now entering the world’s largest, most prolific teen dating service in the world…and your tax dollars are paying the membership fee.”

What defines a dating service is simply trying to find the largest number of available singles and put them all in one place. Bingo!

Thoughts?
