Religious Groups Get Chunk of AIDS Money

It just warms my heathen heart to know that my tax dollars are being sent to groups like this, some run by folks who've never had sex, to treat a sexually transmitted disease.

If you're still looking for proof that "government" is just another way to say "thieves and idiots", look no further.

AP - President Bush's $15 billion effort to fight AIDS has handed out nearly a quarter of its grants to religious groups, and aggressively is pursuing new church partners that often emphasize disease prevention through abstinence and fidelity over condom use.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
