If It Doesn't Help, Don't Go There

Here's an editorial by an African, talking about the AIDS crisis in Africa. Condoms may not be the final solution to AIDS in Africa. For the individual African, who chooses to consistently use condoms, when engaging in consensual sex, with partners not concurrently experiencing acute traumatic blood loss or otherwise exuding large amounts of virally active bodily fluids, it may greatly decrease their chances of sero conversion, leading to a life free from wasting, rogue cancerous lesions, opportunistic brain parasites, chronic pneumonia and lethargy, followed by abrupt death.

The Pope is not just another old, closeted gay Catholic priest, traveling around the World with his significant other in his sunset years, seeing the sights and sending postcards to the other old queens at home. He is also one of the major recognized moral authorities in the World. Millions of people take every utterance he makes to heart. In light of this, many of his statements and actions seem careless and ill considered.
