While the rest of us were stuck in traffic today, our opponent in the House of Delegates race for Virginia's 13th District was busy tackling the use of chocolate covered strawberries as aphrodisiacs. The people of the 13th district are tired of divisive pandering and ineffective leadership. They want a leader who will deal with the issues that matter the most: transportation, education and healthcare.
"We are concerned that the frivolous manner in which human sexuality is being treated here with GMU approval is counter productive to the best interests of Virginia's citizens," the legislators wrote."It was supposed to be something funny - strawberries, oyster crackers, food alleged to be aphrodisiacs. Chocolate," Agan said. "It's just food, basically, just trying to draw people in."
In a phone interview yesterday, Marshall said he failed to find the humor in the aphrodisiac "come-on," as he called it, and said the event was just "a cover for propaganda."
"Is there anybody who gets into college who is ignorant about sex? You can't walk down the aisle of a grocery store without seeing condoms and jelly for diaphragms," Marshall said.
Marshall said that George Mason will have to see how the event fits with its mission statement, and will discover "they can't justify this."
University officials don't plan to respond to the legislators, unless they call Merten directly, Walsch said. "We have nothing to say. We support what the students have organized and have been pleased with how this has turned out."
