IT's World AIDs Day .. it's been all over the net and LJ. All of us have a story to tell, a loved one gone, friends and family ill, or even it's yourself. That's why it's important to tell the world what can be done to prevent the spread of AIDs and to not let those who are afraid take away the right to prevent and treat this dreadful disease.

Yeah, scarily enough there are religious groups who feel that teaching that using a condom to prevent the spread of this rampant disease is wrong and should not be done. So much so that they are asking folks to not donate to the various organizations that help to teach about condom use and the prevention of diseases....I just cannot understand their reasoning.

Fine, your God says not to use a condom. Good for you, don't use one. But for all that is Holy, let those for whom it is not a sin use them if they choose. It's as much their right to use one as it is yours not to.

And btw...overpopulation, dwindling natural resources, hunger, poverty and the all other host of real life in your face issues can be helped by not having yet another kid that you cannot afford to feed, shelter and clothe.

I'm just saying is all.
