One, because we can't afford it. Two, because it's just patently ridiculous. And yes, it would be socialism, more so than having public schools. I wouldn't be completely averse to making these things tax-free, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-1116790023907349282005-05-22T15:27:00.000-04:002005-05-22T15:27:00.000-04:00Better for all to be using less-than-ideal condoms...Better for all to be using less-than-ideal condoms than for some to use the most innovative and others to use none. Cost shouldn't be an issue. That's not to say that, as with private schools, there couldn't be some fancier condoms for the connoisseur (sp? what kind of French major am I ,hmm?).Phoebe Maltz Bovyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996039330841139883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146512.post-1116722360550473102005-05-21T20:39:00.000-04:002005-05-21T20:39:00.000-04:00Those are all things that have been dramatically i...Those are all things that have been dramatically improved upon in the last few decades and which will probably continue to improve.

Without them, citizens are on a far less than equal footing in a very basic way: women (and receptive partners in general) run a greater risk from sex than do others. Same situation as with tampons--all of society wants them used, but only half ends up paying the price.
