Ever wondered why Western agencies continue to insist that the only way to combat AIDS is by the use of condoms, completely ignoring the impact changing behaviour has had in countries like Uganda? The short answer: follow the money. For a slightly longer response, see the articles by Matthew Hanley and Douglas Sylva at the National Catholic Bioethics Center. Here's a quote from Dr Sylva's article:
AIDS is unique because, as a deadly pandemic spread mainly through promiscuous sexual activity, it threatens some of the most cherished modern norms concerning sexual liberation. So to promote the most obvious response to such a pandemic—do not engage in promiscuous sexual activity—would in essence be a capitulation, an admission that the dream of consequence-free sexual activity was not only impossible, but perhaps at least partly responsible for the scourge.

Ten London parks are about to benefit from a major makeover and one of them could be a park near you.
The Mayor of London is giving ten grants of up to £400,000 to London's most needy parks to make them cleaner, safer, greener, and nicer places to visit. Londoners are now invited to vote for which parks win an award.
Arnos Park is one of those eligible and, as anyone who has tried to use the children's playground or wondered just where the strange discharges in the stream come from will know, it desperately needs the money. To vote for Arnos Park, please go here and forward this link to as many people as you can.
Voting ends at 5pm on 30 January 2009, so vote now.
LAST CHANCE!
