Politically correct foolishness

Concerned Women Blog: Even though each year one-in-four sexually active young people will contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD), the new politically correct way to educate our children on STDs is to consider them nothing more than an infection — a sexually transmitted infection (STI). We’re so afraid of not being tolerant and of making people feel bad about themselves that we’re willing to de-emphasize the abhorrent nature of an STD by downgrading it to an “infection?”

Editor: I may be dense, but I don't really see that much difference between a disease and an infection. Neither sound too good to me.
