Scout magazines. How scouts helped out in the aftermath of tornadoes. Also looking up a lot about Florida's drug testing requirements for welfare recipients.

Did you know that the wife of Florida's governor owns the company that all this drug testing equipment is being bought from? What a coincidence.

articles.cnn.com/2011-07-02/us/florida.drug.tests.welfare_1_drug-tests-drug-screening-rick-scott?_s=PM:USIn April, Scott, who had transferred his ownership interest in Solantic Corp. to a trust in his wife's name, said the company would not contract for state business, according to local media reports. He subsequently sold his majority stake in the company, local media reported.
On May 18, the Florida Ethics Commission ruled that two conflict-of-interest complaints against Scott were legally insufficient to warrant investigation, and adopted an opinion that no "prohibited conflict of interest" existed.

Local paper+Catholic stuff www.ncregister.com/site/article/forced-sex-ed-in-new-york/40 years of experience has shown misguided efforts to make sexual activity devoid of consequences to be a failure...
The Heritage Foundation says there are at least 10 recent scientific evaluations that show the effectiveness of abstinence programs in decreasing sexual behavior. Among those include:
- An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. Michael Resnick and others titled “Protecting Adolescents From Harm: Findings From the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health” showing that “abstinence pledge” programs are dramatically effective in reducing sexual activity among teenagers in grades seven through 12.
- Abstinence by Choice operates in 20 schools in the Little Rock, Ark., area. The program targets seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade students and reaches about 4,000 youths each year. A recent evaluation, involving a sample of nearly 1,000 students, shows that the program reduced the sexual activity rates of girls by approximately 40% (from 10.2% to 5.9%) and the rate for boys by approximately 30% (from 22.8% to 15.8%) when compared with similar students who had not been exposed to the program.Maybe I'll look this up later

I don't know, I don't think it was okay back then either, but I'm not naive enough to believe that future generations will continue to agree with all our or my morals. All I can say for sure is that I believe my morals are correct, and that yours are based on silliness. >_>
