I would agree as a fellow South African working for an non-profit whose programs are funded by PEPFAR. George Bush has done a lot for AIDS in Africa choosing to fund African organisations that provide African solutions to our AIDS problems. It is laughable when people even mention condoms in context of AIDS in Africa. While maybe the under 25's have accepted them they are not an African solution and are not used. Abstinence while maybe un-American is far more acceptable to culture here than condoms which are seen as tools of colonialists to keep African population numbers down. The PEPFAR program has really helped us change AIDS in South Africa

Quality is important. I recently took out Three from my DVD Store and was bitterly disapointed. I did not even bother finishing the movie. I manage a Christian book shop and am constantly disapointed in the quality of Christian novels. Most would not be published by secular publishers. I am sure we can do better than this.
