December 1 was World AIDS Day. Special Health Resources for Texas asked people to wear red ribbons "in support of those who have died from AIDS." Maybe I'm just a little unclear on the concept, but does a dead person really need my support? And if he does, how does my wearing a ribbon help him out? Or are they saying that dying from AIDS is somehow an honorable thing?
SHRT went on to say that Education is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of the disease. No it's not -- not having promiscuous sex is the best way to prevent the spread of the disease. Maybe SHRT needs a little educating themselves.
