Winding Down World AIDS Day

It’s almost midnight, and World AIDS Day is almost over and I am just disgusted.   Although there were some very important events going on in the world to commemorate World AIDS Day - a day to bring attention to AIDS in Africa (and really, around the world) –  it was almost a non-event in major media outlets. 

I mean, to listen to one newscast after the next go on and on about  everything else BUT this day made me irrate!  I saw “big stories” such as:

  • Wii playing in schools in place of real exercise (are we going to have future Wii Olympians?!)
  • MORE coverage than needed of the NON-interview of the White House Crashers (and please, do they need anymore attention, and her HAIR!)
  • Tiger Woods finally cooperating with the cops, and NOT getting anything but a traffic ticket!? (but oh, the stories that’ll be sprouting up soon about a rumored affair with a SECOND woman!)

So many other stories, but not ONE mention of  World AIDS Day.  Here are a few links the network news should have given you to check out:

    I certainly wish to get out of my apartment far more as well as cease from wasting a large percentage of of my time learning poker on myspace or facebook merely because nowadays i have been missing with regards to this. Even though I cannot state that I 100% come to an agreement with every single premise, it’s excellent to peruse some reasonable posts rather than the conventional trash I uncover flying around the net.

    hello very good little website you have right here :-) I use the same template on my website yet somehow for whichever reason it appears to stream earlier on this website despite the fact that this blog contains more multimedia. Are you currently getting different plug ins or widgets which will quicken it up? If you might be able to have the programs so maybe I can use them in my internet sites so twilight breaking dawn users could watch twilight new moon online trailers and films easier I’d be ever so thankful – thanks ahead of time :)

    it is my first comment on this website and firstly I would like to thank you for the unique information, which I were able to find in this and all previous posts , it really helped me a lot. I will definitely iclude this website on my rss reader :) Also, I would like to ask – don’t you mind if I will quate some information from your blog since I am writing articles for the Associated Content, Ezine and other articles directories (this is my part time job)? It would really help me with some of mine articles. Of course, I will mention your blog title or URL (not all articles directories allows URL’s , so I can’t 100% promise that you will get a direct backlink to your website).
