Fantastic news today about HIV and AIDS and combating the disease and such and such but the way the media is reporting the story is a bit suspect:


Pill Prevents HIV In Gay Men

Here's a tip:  gay men and straight men are basically the same genetically.  Being straight doesn't somehow magically make this pill ineffective.  So a young gay man that doesn't yet fully realize he's gay wouldn't be able to get the benefits from this pill?  By reading the article one learns that gay men with HIV and AIDS are the ones generally receiving these pills as part of their treatment, but the headline is misleading and only helps to compartmentalize a part of the human population instead of treating them as humans period.

As a great man once said, "People are people so why should it be that you and I should get along so awfully?"

Maybe "great man" was a bit of a stretch.  But I bet he could really use this pill.
