With all the glorification of condoms that occurs in this country as a means of preventing HIV, they are not used, as evidenced by rising HIV infection rates in recent years. One has to wonder why this is occuring despite all the condoms that are thrown at people. Perhaps it is that people who care so little for their own selves that they will screw (as that's all they're doing outside a spiritually healthy relationship) anything that's walking for the sake of one night of physical pleasure are already so careless with themselves that they don't care if they get an STD? Perhaps they simply don't take responsibility for their actions in general, and so it doesn't matter what are the repercussions of their perversion. Some male homosexuals intentionally try to get infected with HIV...they see HIV as being a part of gay culture. There have been a few articles on that posted on FR in the past few years.

The bottom line is that HIV is primarily a behavior-driven disease. No amount of obfuscation on the part of the condom worshippers will ever erase that.

Those in Planned Parenthood have, I think, a flawed view of human nature. Humanitarianism is helpless before human perversity. We are like dogs returning to our vomit. When John Rock came out with his pill more than 40 years ago, it was part of his pitch that it would eliminate the need for abortion. Planned Parenthood made the same pitch and a number of liberal priests engaged in a lovefeast, advancing the same notion. But wide distribution of the pill and other means of contraception have not eliminated abortion (on the contrary). Human beings are such that we resist discipline, any denial of what we crave, and only strong social pressure will make us restrict our activities. The Sexual Revolution eliminated many of the social controls which has held down the incidents of disease and unwanted pregnancies. Of course people will do what they want to do even in the face of all coercion. That's why people are in jail. That's why people denying of lung cancer will continue to smoke, even though they could add five years of life by quitting.
