The problem may be that while advances in treatment and prevention have fueled a misguided sense of complacency about the disease, personal prejudices have kept the stigma and shame about HIV alive. "We may have overeducated the public about the effectiveness of treatment and the availability of treatment," says Nancy Mahon, executive director of the MAC AIDS Fund. "Understanding this is important to change the pace of the epidemic and the nature of the epidemic at this point...
...House members Nancy Pelosi and Collin Peterson, a large number of rural voters get it that subsidies are killing their communities. The failure of reform in the House and Senate shows once again who really runs this country's agriculture: the likes of Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland.

My mother was slightly confused by my desire to delve into the goyim’s good book, but I explained that I wanted...
...anyone who has not yet visited Poland, the country can conjure up grainy images of World War II, Nazi occupation and drab, communist-era decay. Though it's 15 years since the Soviet tanks left, the country has yet to shake that reputation. That's a shame: Poland may be the most underappreciated destination in Europe. From the meticulously reconstructed old square in Warsaw to medieval Cracow and the white sand beaches of the Baltic, the country boasts some of Central Europe's most unexpected pleasures. Poland is preparing to join the European Union in May, and Poles hope...
