WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Programs that promote abstinence and monogamy to combat AIDS are failing in a landmark Ugandan study, and only condom use has kept the deadly virus in check, researchers reported on Wednesday..........For the rest of the article go here: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&amp;cid=594&e=4&u=/nm/20050224/hl_nm/aids_abstinence_dc

Ok, so look, I'm really not hugely politically preachy. (Shut up, I am NOT.) I simply couldn't let this pass. I will save you the pain of having to hear my little soap box speech and instead just ask you read the article and draw your own conclusions. Hmph. Abstinence indeed....
Ahem. Well, I'm back at work today, and I'm discovering that really and truly, it's a little difficult to work with no voice. I don't mean that little scratchy-hi-I-have-laryngitis voice, I mean NO voice. It's like those nightmares where your stash comes to life and chases you down the stairs and out into the cold night air, snaking it's furry tendrils out to trip you and you scream and scream and you scream for help, only no one can hear you because your screams come out like little whispers.......what? Don't lie to me, I know you've had that one. If you haven't, then either your stash isn't big enough, or I shouldn't have read so much Stephen King as a kid. Where was I? Oh right, no voice. That's me, the quiet one in the corner, and for any of you who know me, you know how crazy THAT is.
Also? Whoever is out there with the voodoo doll and the pins stuck into every joint and muscle, please stop it. I'm extremely and deeply sorry for whatever it is I did and will do anything you ask, anything.
