Mostly because being in jail is supposed to be a punishment, not a wish fulfillment excersize.

Why would we be footing the bill for sex change operation for a man who is going to be spending most of the rest of his life behind bars because he took another person's life?

Hard working American family? Go die of cancer you lazy scum.
Murderer? Here's your free sex change, anything else we can get for you?

The biggest issue is that this man/woman/whatever is only receiving this operation because of being in prison. There are tons of hard working people out there who need medical care and can't afford it yet an elective procedure like this is going to be given at their expense to a murderer.

And yes, I also agree that our defense spending is absurd. A lot of things in this country as absurd. But does that mean we should just ignore these things because they're small?

RNC? War in Afghan?

Nope!

CNN covers this. What a joke!

Heck yeah, front page news right next to the Honey Boo Boo video.
