Well, I think this post is going to annoy some people. Keep in mind that Ogre isn't really here right now, he's off skiing, but this post should be posted automatically on Thursday. He'll respond to all comments when he returns!

Today is World AIDS Day. According to the claptrap press release emailed from my college, I'm supposed to talk about HIV and AIDS to work towards stopping the spread of HIV and AIDS.

Ok, you folks asked for it.

STOP HAVING CASUAL SEX! STOP PUTTING YOUR THING WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG! STOP HAVING HOMOSEXUAL SEX!

Well, if you listen to me and only have sex within the bounds of a normal (heterosexual) marriage, the occurrences of both HIV and AIDS will drop dramatically. Heck, if you even just limit yourself to one sex partner for life, the damn disease will be reduced!

Now, feel free to bash me for being full of hatred, but the facts are the facts. A reduction in "free" sex WILL reduce those diseases, whether you want to admit it or not.

According to the laws of supply and demand, oysters should get a lot cheaper in North Carolina very soon. The North Carolina government, apparently because it has nothing better to do with $600,000 of taxpayer money, is going to start raising oysters -- up to 10 million of them.

So, if the supply of such an item increases so drastically, the price should drop (assuming demand stays the same), right?

Well, basic economics only works when not interfered with by government. You can be sure this will be another government program that will need $800,000 next year, and another $1,000,000 by 2007. And you can bet if they only get $790,000 next year, the Democrats will call that a "cut."

All I can say to this is WHY, WHY, WHY?

What is this desperate need for oysters? Would there be no oysters if the North Carolina government doesn't use hundreds of thousands of dollars to raise them? I absolutely do not understand how ANYONE can defend such an incredible waste of money.

If YOU want to raise damn oysters, YOU raise them -- and stop FORCING me, at gunpoint, to pay for someone else raising them with ZERO benefit to me!
