Saw this in the newspaper this AM. A new study by the UN indicates that the life expectancy in 7 African countries has dropped to less than 40 years due to the AIDS epidemic. For some of these countries, this is more than a 30% drop in 10 years. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/16/in...ca/16afri.html (You don't need to subscribe to read this, although you may need to register.)

South Africa shouldn't be too far behind either.

But George Bush has cut funding to any AIDS program that teachs condom useage....
Yeah, it looks like it was working wonders.Quote:

How about education. We'll just drop pamphlets everywhere that say, "Stop f***ing anything that moves! Pick a person and go with it! Keep the needles out of your arms!" Think that would work?
You forgot about the part that goes: quit having sex with animals!Quote:
