As for the AIDS in Africa topic today, I think he was dead-on. Yes, safe-sex would stop the epidemic, but due to the poverty, ignorance, culture, etc. described by hoya, that is not a realistic solution. At least not anytime in the near term. And numbers of people dying there and the numbers of orphans are truly horrific. This is one of the worst plagues in human history.

It sure is, but there is no solution, if not for safe sex. If people say, well, we want a solution for unsafe sex, then maybe they're asking too much.
That's like saying, I want a safe solution for playing Russian Roulette. How much must society pay when people are unwilling to comply with the obvious solutions?
More money is spent on AIDS than on Cancer even though our AIDS death rates pale in comparison to the Cancer death rates. Do you know which cancer receives some of the lowest proportions in funding? Prostate. In comparison to breast cancer, it outspent 9 to 1.
We have many epidemic problems and AIDS should not be the number one priority that politics of sex has made it.
