I was wondering what relevance this post had to World Goa Day or GoaNet when I realised it came (unsigned) from the religious propaganda machine of Fr. Bothelo and friends.
This is typical of the right wing garbage we hear from members of the holyspiritinteractive group and Crisis Magazine 'investigative reporters' like Sue Ellin Browder. http://www.crisismagazine.com/ One of the world's largest conferences on HIV/AIDS has just concluded in Toronto with the overwhelming opinion that abstinence and fidelity (regardless of what Mario says) is not working for countries which are suffering heavily from the spread of this immunosuppressive virus. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=49869 Bush's HIV prevention policies also came under attack at the conference. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/8/15/1204/71381 I publicly urge the moderators of this forum to avoid promoting blatant religious propaganda like JudeSundayReflections and irrelevant biased opinions just because they originate from spiritual sounding sites like holyspiritinteractive.

According to the USAIDS/World Health Organization (WHO), 40.3 million people now live with HIV infections, two-thirds of them in sub-Saharan Africa. In Swaziland, 42.6 percent of pregnant women test positive for HIV. There?s no cure for this killer, and no end in sight. The United Nations predicts that if present trends continue, AIDS will claim an additional 65 million lives by 2020?more than triple the number of those who died in the first 20 years of the pandemic. It has been five years since New York Times columnist Bob Herbert wrote that most of us are simply unable to grasp the enormity of this disaster. ?We are in the early stages of an unprecedented threat to the health of the human species,? he warned. ?The long dark night of AIDS has just begun.? http://www.holyspiritinteractive.net/columns/guests/suebrowder/dirtysecret.a sp -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goanet.org/listinfo.cgi/goanet-goanet.org
