Wrong, The Answer Is Simple

Another possible epidemic is in the news.  This time in the desert.  Palm Springs desert.  In this instance use of the word epidemic is almost justified.

The headline, in The Desert Sun, reads, “?Not a simple answer? for desert?s syphilis problem." That statement, a quote from one Tri Do.  Well, Tri, let’s look at the problem, as it’s stated within the article.

"There isn?t just one, or even a few factors fueling the epidemic:

Drugs, particularly crystal meth, have been linked to some cases, but not all. The same goes for anonymous sex and alcohol—they?re additional risk factors but they?re not linked to every case of desert syphilis.

Research suggests that some gay men are no longer concerned about HIV and AIDS and have grown tired of the safe sex message. Health officials say an increasing number are participating in high-risk sexual behavior at resorts or bath houses, or through meetings initiated over the Internet.

Even if men are heeding the safe sex message, the disease can get around it. Condoms don?t necessarily stop the spread of syphilis."

The simple answer.  Judas Priest, don’t do those things.

Drudge, again.

  1. John Venlet: The simple answer.  Judas Priest, don’t do those things.

    The (“elite” and intellectually “superior) Liberals have taught me (us) that when you place your hand on a red hot stove you don’t always get burned.

    Essentially the outcome is “random”. (I’d elaborate further, but it is complicated (nuanced) and obviously you lack sufficient mental capacity to comprehend it.)

    You have to get over these antiquated (medieval/inferior) notions of Cause and Effect.
