In a few weeks, the Voters of California will have the opportunity of a lifetime. They will get to decide if their State is truly one that believes in Democracy, or if they are mainly Self Serving Bigots. See, Proposition 8, the move to deny civil rights to Gays in the state, will determine just whether or not people truly believe in the Order of Law, in Freedom really.

As much as the Supporters of this Racist Proposition want people to believe this is about protecting religious freedoms, it is in fact the exact opposite. It denies Gays the right to Civil Marriages, to be treated as an equal. The recent Supreme Court Ruling affirmed that but that isn’t good enough for a select religious elitists, who believe that ONLY THEIR VIEW SHOULD COUNT.

If Californians believe in a separation between Church & State, Prop 8 will be rejected, but unfortunately, it does have a chance of passing. Which makes one wonder, what is it about racism that can get so many people to blindly follow the mouthing of such hate mongers?

Bumgarner distributed handouts listing “Six Consequences if Proposition 8 Fails” that volunteers were encouraged to use as talking points. They included warnings that ministers who preach against same-sex marriage could be sued for hate speech, churches would be sued for refusing to host wedding ceremonies for gays, and that “children in schools will be taught that same-sex marriage is OK.” (source - Politico dot Com)

Truth is, the ruling does not prohibit preachers from preaching, even if it is utter bullshit. Such as that homosexuals are an abomination unto God. The right of ALL PEOPLE to enjoy the Civil Rights is essential in any Democracy, whether you agree with their lifestyle or not. That is what Freedom is all about. To support anything else, is to support Dictatorship.

People forget that America was originally colonized by people leaving Europe due to religious persecution. They left, because a sect of Religion deemed it essential that ALL BELIEVED AS THEY DID. Hence many left, to establish a Country where one could believe as they wished, live as they wished, free from the harsh dictates of ANY RELIGIOUS ORDER/DOCTRINE.

Yet here we are, in 2008, where a group of Religious Leaders want to ignore that bit of history, and FORCE THEIR WILL ON EVERYONE. That is what Proposition 8 really is about, not about protecting Marriage, but about them having Power, having THEIR WAY FORCED ON EVERYONE.

Californians - Vote For Freedom - Defeat Proposition 8

And just to point out that this proposition is Anti Religion, consider this simple truth. All segments of the Jewish Faith have accepted that Gays have a place in the Jewish Religion, and that marriage ceremonies within synagogues is not only allowed, but should be welcomed. Just as Gay Rabbis are acceptable within all segments of the Jewish Faith.

Proposition 8, if it passes, would infringe on the rights of Jews to practice their own religious beliefs.

So much for Religious Freedom.

Gradually I am making the novels available online at gay fiction .

You can read several novels right now, including the ultimate romance novel, BILLY.

Of course there are others available, such as the expose on being gay, called The Secret. This particular novel is one of my favorites, in that it is not really about sex, but about how one can find real love, real acceptance, if they simply open up their heart.

Night Prowler is one about life in a small college town, where life can be everyone’s business. Yet there are still some secrets, that even the town busy body doesn’t know, or want to spread around.

This is a drama novel, which I think you will enjoy.

Supposed to be released tomorrow, the CDC is going to be revising its estimate of HIV infections, based on the results of a new blood test. If you get past the ‘ass covering‘ of the piece, it seems that the estimates on how many new cases of HIV per year is a bit off.  Like about maybe 16,000

(CBS/AP) The number of Americans infected by the AIDS virus each year is much higher than the government has been estimating, U.S. health officials are expected to report Sunday, acknowledging that their numbers have understated the level of the epidemic.

The country had roughly 56,300 new HIV infections in 2006 - a dramatic increase from the 40,000 annual estimate used for the last dozen years. The new figure is due to a better blood test and new statistical methods, and not a worsening of the epidemic, officials said. (source - CBS News)

Now I am not a math major, nor am I a Rocket Scientist, but I really have to wonder at these people who give out this information. I can see, that the disease hasn’t worsened, just that they failed to accurately report its rate of growth. So for me, that is just as bad, because you know, if they are wrong by that number for just the last Ten Years, it means that there are about 116,000 people with HIV who weren’t accounted for.

IT means that health resources have been based on inaccurate numbers, making those resources woefully inadequate. IT can also mean that SOMEONE might be trying to HIDE THE TRUTH.

I believe the term used, is EPIDEMIC, which certainly garners a different response, than just a Gay Disease would. Then too, there is the whole equation of where the increases are being noted, which again, makes you wonder. IS THIS REAL or FUDGED?

Some experts celebrated that finding, saying it’s a tribute to prevention efforts, including nearly 200 syringe exchange programs now operating in 36 states despite a federal ban on funding for such projects.

But they also lamented the CDC’s finding that infections continue to increase in gay and bisexual men, who accounted for more than half of HIV infections in 2006. Also, more than a third of those with HIV are younger than 30. (source - more from CBS News)

IF they couldn’t tell how many new infections there were each year, how can they tell that the increase is among Gay / Bisexual Men, with more than a third being under 30? I simply don’t get how they all come up with these figures, and I wonder, just how much does POLITICS EFFECT THE NUMBERS RELEASED?

IS this new statistical measurements, new blood tests, really be the reason for the increased numbers, or an excuse on how to account for the larger number? After all, it does show that Abstinence Only IS NOT WORKING. A major political program by the Bush Administration, that has cost Taxpayers Billions of Dollars. Yet the annual CDC Budget is $700 Million for AIDS/HIV prevention.

Makes you wonder, is this because of a New Blood Test, or is it simply Cover as the Truth is gradually being discovered?
