Solving AIDS easy as ABC
Like Harper's recent warming up to Global Warming, I am afraid that the new spending on the AIDS effort and the renewed collaboration efforts with the Gates Foundation may be but a symptom of the minority governments' need to appease the opposition and the sentimental Canadian public. The amount of money the West has spent on funding HIV projects in Africa has amounted to several Marshal Plans and yet the problem is still growing. The truth is that solving the AIDS pandemic is quite simple and borders on common-sense. What the West is really fighting for is for the protection of an ideology that puts science over morality. Condoms and testing will never match the effects of monogamy and faithfulness with regards to solving the AIDS pandemic or creating a healthy society. Yet big donors and politicians refuse to acknowledge this and it is killing millions every year.
This is my latest article in the opinion section of the Brock Press regarding this issue.

It is a well known fact that the right wing has a simple answer to every complex problem. And they are ALWAYS wrong.
What a self righteous position you have here - Simple as 1-2-3.
Not everyone has been blessed with your god given brain. In Africa, illiteracy is the cause of many of the problems with AIDS, where do you come off with your superior morality? That is nonsense.
I assume you are a Christian... your own Jesus said, "That which you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me". Jesus was not moralistic with people! When Mary Magdalene was working as a prostitute he did not condemn her or take the attitude that you have taken with these poor souls in Africa!!!
With all due respect - and in leftdog's case, scant seems due - morality can, and should, serve to guide people when all the corruptive marxist/leninist/socialist/liberal laws(with their inbuilt loopholes) fail.
Morality? The ability and willingness to discriminate right from wrong, and the spine to do the right thing. (Not the left...)
