[QUOTE="sckeener, post: 4075544, member: 8801"] I’ve reached a plateau and was hoping you could help me reach my personal goal! See the links above to donate! So far no web forum that I've posted on has donated. I'd like Enworld to be the first. So please, if you can....every bit helps! Very true...research and education are key...but so is political will....ex: even having a vaccine for Polio and a world wide effort to eradicate it hasn't eliminated Polio. Take Uganda. They had a successful education program that was working...was. Their policy was called ABC, "Abstinence," "Be faithful," and "Condom use." Uganda felt it was a national security issue because the government looked around and saw that AIDS was going to wipe out their military.....but then Bush promised money...the string was that Uganda had to drop the C in ABC or drop the Condom part. Uganda took the bait and now that country's AIDS rate is rising. There is a PBS Frontline episode about this controversy. Politics can interfere with stopping this disease. It is possible to stop it. Education is key. I'm sure Polio would be wiped out if mother's knew their babies would be safe if they got a vaccine. I'm also sure if enough people harped on condoms there would be a reduction in the AIDS numbers. There is a reason the legal prostitutes in Nevada have never come down with a disease. They always insist on condoms....because the Nevada state government insists on it...political will.... 0% increase is possible. [/QUOTE]
