more stupidity on World AIDs Day

Marking World AIDS Day, the New York-based human rights organization described condoms as the single most effective weapon against sexually transmitted HIV, but said they are subjected to government-backed constraints in numerous countries. . ..The U.S. government, although the leading donor to HIV/AIDS-fighting initiatives, was criticized for its support of "abstinence until marriage" HIV-prevention programs that often depict condoms as unreliable and withhold any practical information about their use.

The unbelievable stupidty of this administration is mind-boggling! It's narrow-minded approach to serious problems like this only compound their intensity. It is just plain idiotic to think that they can convince people not to have sex - especially people who do not share the ridiculously repressive religious views on the subject that some americans have. To play with people's lives like this is a far bigger sin than pre-marital sex!!!! This is just sickening!
