I dedicate this video for the Popes irresponsible statements in Africa against condom use for HIV prevention, thus reinforcing an already negative male attitude against them. Well hey the pope says so. That’s right truck drivers who are having lots of sex on the road, no condoms are needed, and in particular for your wife.
But hey, if she became positive you’d just blame her, disown her, and the kick her out without a single penny.
This Popes true colours are showing. Keep them poor, uneducated, sick, and most of all, procreating.
I don’t do rants often on here, but that was so out of touch with reality i...

Finally, Nata Village is going to have a Senior Secondary School. The bush has been cleared. In two or three years students from Nata village and the serounding villages are going to have their own Senior Secondary Shool In Nata. Students from Nata used to attend school in Maun 300km, Francistown, Tutume, Masunga, and Shashe 200km away, This made it difficult for parents to visit the School when ever there were meetings because of transport and accomodation. So life is going to change for the better we hope.

Obama Administration to Stop Raids on Medical Marijuana Dispensers
By DAVID JOHNSTON and NEIL A. LEWIS
Published: March 18, 2009
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Wednesday outlined a shift in the enforcement of federal drug laws, saying the administration would effectively end the Bush administration’s frequent raids on distributors of medical marijuana.
Speaking with reporters, Mr. Holder provided few specifics but said the Justice Department’s enforcement policy would now be restricted to traffickers who falsely masqueraded as medical dispensaries and “use medical marijuana laws as a shield....

It’s both a testament to and an indictment of our response to how far we’ve come in the last decade and a half that “gay men and AIDS” now seems like a retro topic. Cooper, whose poignant and hilarious 1996 memoir “Truth Serum” demons...

Last week, Friday to be precise, I had a moment where I felt my faith was up in jeopardy, if not in complete question?
How could this be? The one thing that I have ever felt certain of was that I’d never had to bare witness to such an act.
My higher power, as they say in 12 step groups had shown such error in judgment that I don’t know how I’m ever going to find trust.
For those who don’t know, my higher power, Oprah Winfrey, could do no wrong, or so I thought.
Last Friday afternoon I turned on my television set to the ultimate in horror. Not only Oprah, but all her guest were wearing and promoting the most hideo...

Today I started my dog training with my PTSD dog. It was a lot of information to get started. Thank god I have 8 weeks support with the trainer.
I always have to write enough here so the awful code from the video plugin doesn’t show up. Unfortunately my friend with the video camera was lame, and was more into listening that getting anything on video, so there will be none of that.
However there will always be lots of material for the newest cam series: The Buster Scardey Cam.

Denver Principles Project - Deadline March 15Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
In 1983, a group of people living with AIDS got together in Denver and wrote a manifesto of self empowerment—known as the Denver Principles—for
those living with HIV. The Denver Principles demanded that the voices
of people living with HIV be heard. It asserted the right of people
living with HIV to participate in the decision-making processes—at all
levels—that would fundamentally affect their lives. The same people who
wrote the Denver Principles then founded the National Association of
People with AIDS (NAPWA).
That is why NAPWA and POZ are announcing a bold new initiative called The Denver Principl...

I’ve got a least a few more clips out of the weekend in New York. It really was the first time I was playing around with the camera. For Barry, my friend who went with me, these are all treasured moments.
Well, I don’t treasure so much the part when our tour bus left without me, and the stupid f.ing New Yorker couldn’t understand me when I asked of the guide, instead of the map. “In New York we say made.” Like I give a shit what you say in New York, I’m the customer and give me the f.ing guide. It’s like Parisians looking like stunned cattle because a slightly different word was us...

I’m not sure how I feel about this. Recently this case of the Greyhound beheading has given raise to the issue of no guilty as not criminally responsible aka NCR. There are a lot of violent crimes where the perpetrator gets and NCR, and in time, if successfully then let back out into society without a record.
In the case of the Greyhound man who now has officially been given a NCR and will be taken away to a institution where he may or may not spend the rest of his life.
Having known others with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, I’ve seen what happens when they stop taking their medications. In all ...

I can’t really say it’s a lazy day, but one where I spent a lot of time writing a short piece for FAB. I’m not sure why but putting together these writings have been challenging.
Today I opted out for the lazy way. Despite the fact that I really do hate to hear myself and hate my nelly voice, I’m willing to sell myself out for the name of content.
Now I gotta get my burgers out of the oven, and get my ass to a meeting.
Oh ya, I have to get my hair cut, hence the indoor outdoor wear.
