Yep, just what the title says. I have discovered the elegant and simple means by which all human ailments from AIDS to the common cold can be eradicated once and forever. I don’t know what this hasn’t been thought of before–it’s so simple, really.
Wanna know what it is?
Abstinence. That’s right, abstinence. Not for a week or two, or even for a year. Abstinence, on a global scale, for 80 years. If everybody plays along this is a guaranteed fix. No more AIDS, no more colds, no more poverty–nothing that plagues humanity today will exist if we can all just agree to “take one for the team” and abstain from sex. And it doesn’t even have to be total abstinence! We just need to keep penises (and turkey baster-wielding scientists) away from vaginas for 80 years.
