Sure. And don't use MY tax dollars...sm
To fund the worthless "abstinance-only" sex-ed programs that don't work. How many millions (or is it billions?) of our tax $$$ have been wasted on that in recent years by our genius of a president and his ilk?
Instead, give kids some actual useful information so they don't get STDs and don't get pregnant in the first place.
But no, the religious fanatics (don't necessarily mean you, just talking here) don't want anyone telling kids about birth control either. (Gasp! It might give them ideas! - As if they never thought about it before that - LMAO).
I honestly think they don't want anyone, ever to have sex unless they're married and are trying to conceive. Yeah. That's reasonable (not). Course I don't think anyone's ever accused the religious right of being reasonable...
Also, don't use my tax dollars
for the abstinence-only programs, as they obviously do not work that's for sure. I also think all of these religion fanatics/pro-lifers who insist on women having babies that they can't pay for should have to pay all the welfare bills and all the low/no income health programs, etc. that these kids use because I'm certainly sick of paying for other people's kids!
Your certainly right about the religious people who don't think anyone should have sex before they are married. Not only that, but once they do get married and finally are allowed to have sex, they better not enjoy it either, LOL. Sex is only for procreation...not for something evil like pleasure. =)
Your tax dollars
The schools wouldn't have to teach about sex if the parents did it - 99% of the parents will NOT discuss sex with their kids. Apparently, it is "too close to home." If you educated your kids about this, great.
I want my tax dollars to be used to educate kids about sex - the more information they have, the less likely they are to get into premature sexual activity. Do you know what most teenagers who come to Planned parenthood for birth control have already been sexually active for at least a year? That is a fact, and it should scar all of us that our kids are so casual about their own sexual health.
Also, as far as Clinton goes, exactly what felony perjury did he commit? None that I'm aware of. However, the present president has committed multiple felonies since taking ofice - most notably putting thousands of US military personnel in harm's way in a useless, senseless war that only made the rest of the world despise us even more than it did before. IMO, Bush is responsible for every US solider killed or maimed in that war. I've been against it from the beginning - not one of the Janes-come-lately who are now hopping on the anti-war bandwagon.

Your tax dollars already go to the local shelter/animal control...sm
Police Dept., or whoever handles animals in your community. I hate to break it to you, but you're *already* paying for it. So why not have your tax dollars spent on spay/neuter, education, and training programs thru the shelter *instead* of having to be spent (as they currently are) on housing, feeding, and ultimately euthanizing so many animals? Because a TON of $$$ is spent on that now. Look it up for your community. You'll probably be shocked at the costs.
Honestly, looking at it strictly from the financial aspect of it, it would cost *less* to do more spay/neuter and education. We have it completely backwards. Makes no sense.
That being said, many communities do have organizations that offer low cost spay/neuter for seniors and low income families. And many shelters are starting to get things going in a more postive direction. More power to them. Now if we could only get the pet stores/puppy mills and backyard breeders under control... *sigh*
Half dollars? And that's supposed to be attractive???? HAHAHA! Not.
