    In this AM's Metro I came across: Teen Pregnancy Stats^ So - this made me think about some other weighty social problems and I came up with the following Eureka level solution:

    Don't worry about underage drinking.  They'll eventually grow out of it in time.

    Too bad I didn't apply for a research grant to study the problem.

          Statistics show they teen pregnancies drop radically after the age of 20. :doh:

            Hmm, what about those who don't realise that this is one in a series of satirical 'graphs' and therefore involves neither researchers or reporters?

              Epiphanies should generate hagiographies, not platitudes.

                Well, then, time for you to get crackin' on that hagiograph dedictated to "W∴ Balboos". Your particular volume, ultimately but one of many on the subject, will or won't be a platitude based solely upon you writing abilities.
