I can remember back in the 1990s, when I lived in the Tampa Bay area. A left-wing newspaper editor, who was constantly writing on behalf of the anti-tobacco Gestapo, went so far as to suggest that they ‘kill the camel’. During the same era, I also remember hearing about PETA/animal rights wackos who were actually nagging about, and perhaps calling for the re-naming of, the upstate town of Fishkill, NY. I guess the idea of fish kill, or killing fish, really agitated them. HOWEVER, my reaction at the time was to ask – where were these animal rights wackos when the leftwing editor suggested ‘killing the camel’? Why didn’t they condemn the dopey editor? As for Joe Camel, why don’t they just make him politically correct? That is – just take away his cigarettes. They can create a textbook called “Camel Joe has 2 Daddies”, or have a female camel – “Camel Heather has 2 Mommies”. It’s hard to believe the lunacy we are seeing today!!

How about the group that wants to have sex with these animals. Why doesn't PETA demand rape laws be same for animals? Animal cannot give consent. I'm a Conservative and a Vegetarian. I don't believe though that animals should have rights. I don't believe that my choice should be forced on others. I have my reasons and its not religion it's for health reasons.

I don't think that the vegan diet is a religious diet. Although I'm no rabbit-food lover (it's only Big Macs and Whoppers for me!) I have a half-brother, who is NOT, I repeat, NOT gay, and he has a passion for vegan food that he has become a vegan chef and is starting a vegan food restaurant. And he is a Christian, despite the fact that it isn't devout, but he dooes not follow some sort of cultish agenda that maybe out there.

I agree Keith, we can't keep wasting money on accomodating anyone who whines enough to get special treatment. creating a High School for Homosexual children teaches these children a few things. First it is saying: 1. You are different and need to be segregated. 2. You deserve special treatment. 3. You are just like everyone else...but not enough to go to the same high school. What is going to happen to these kids when they go to college, or get a job in a corporation? Are they going to say to their employers, "I am gay and therefore I think I deserve my own bathroom and office."? I think it is ridiculous to segregate homosexual children. I would have thought that homosexual activist's would have wanted people to learn to treat homosexuals the same as everyone else...not put them in their own area. We might as well reinstate the thought "seperate, but equal" but for homosexuals.

Keith, I am in absolute agreement with your written reaction to the planned school discussed in this article. By funding public schools designed for only homosexuals, Illinois is making a statement that homosexuals and heterosexuals have nothing to benefit from one another in terms of working and learning together. This school system philosophy will likely lead to greater discrimination in this country. The institution of this school is precedent for the government funding of religious, ethnic, and racial schools for each religious view in this country and each unique ethnic and racial population in this country. In response to the vegan cafeteria proposal, public schools cannot support each religious diet; I believe the vegan diet is a religious diet because it stems from a person's moral beliefs. It is impractical to support each diet and the diet of the majority of the school's population should determine the cafeteria diet, if economical. David Ellstein

Or, K. Shelton, maybe we could just have a school for students who love their country, don't want handouts, believe in God, and their right to worship Him. That would be a home school which Obama will try to outlaw if he wins this election. I hope America wakes up before we make the biggest mistake of our lives. This is why I left the Democrat Party. These are the most hateful, dishonest,looking for a handout people I've ever seen. I think the rock you seek is all over our country.Think we could put them back?

This is either a bad joke or we are in the last days!

O.K. They have a High-School designed for Gay and Lesbian kids, Let us just see if we can have a school designed for Heterosexual students ONLY. Maybe we can have a school designed for left handed people. Maybe we can have a school just for students who want to pick their noses in public, or one for people with green eyes.Why don't we grow up and try to teach our children how to make their way in the world for a change and let them be whatever they want to be instead of foisting our own so called alternative lifestyles down their throats. And you wonder, people really wonder what has happened to america. I say 'Who moved the rock these people were hiding under!.' K. Shelton, Watauga, Tn.
