This story seems to deserve more comment than Tim Blair gives it. I quote his entire entry:
A 73-YEAR-OLD disarmament campaigner is calling for a sex strike to stop the disarmament of Saddam Hussein:
Michael Denborough, who's leading an anti-war vigil outside Parliament House, said today the sex strike was a way to highlight the horrors that Iraqi women and children would face when war came.
Not having sex highlights fiery death for all the children? Makes sense to me, Mr. Logic Man.
Sex is one of a number of strikes being urged by Dr Denborough. He wants a driving strike - "abandon your car at an intersection and throw away the keys" - and a shopping strike - "war is about corporate greed" - as well as a conventional strike.
Where to begin?
The envy and spite that motivate so many on the left have rarely been more obvious.

of the Apocalypse, right?
I fully support a sex-strike by peaceniks. In fact, given that war somewhere on the planet seems to be a more or less permanent human condition, I think they should make it a point not to have sex for any reason until the entire world is at peace.
Just think of the improvement to the gene pool.

And just maybe it could prove that there's a 0.0001% chance Hussein is innocent.
