In fact, more responsible newspapers are calling this an "AIDS-like disease"
instead of "HIV- AIDS" to leave open the possiblility that this
disease, while similar in nature, is unrelated to AIDS.

I think so.  I am Jewish, an atheist and a leftist.  When my Judaism is not

For the purpose of this framework, the term refers to all
youth regardless of gender, ethnic background, age,
sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, culture
primary language, disability, or any other human attribute."

p. 32 "Gay and lesbian youth often experience serious difficulty
coming to terms with their sexual identity.  According to a
1989 report of the Secretary's Task Force on Youth Suicide,
US Dept. of Health and Human Services, gay adolescents are two
to three times more likely than their peers to attempt suicide
and account for as many as 30 percent of completed suicides each 
year."

p. 47 "One point to emphasize in this content area is that in
today's society the term 'family' must be considered in its
broadest sense.  The traditional family, with two married
parents and one or more children, is one model.  Others that
are part of contemporary society include blended families
and families headed by grandparents, siblings, relatives,
friends, foster parents, and parents of the same sex."

I was a PFLAG meeting about a year ago and one of the 
Mothers who had a gay son and who not only had accepted
it over the years but now is actively involved in Gay
and Lesbian activities had the following to say when
it came to voting/elections.

"How can your parents, friends and family possibly vote for
the issues and candidates that will have a positive impact
on your life as a homosexual if they are not aware of that
fact."

I know it's a pretty simple statement but it has stuck in my
mind the last year and I have been in the process of coming
out to my family (friends have known for years) for that
reason and many others.  Thought I would share it.

The non-natives had better learn to avoid that last pronunciation, lest they
end up in Waban (a district in Newton).

BTW, Steve Dyer's post that started this sub-thread reminds me of a joke that
used to circulate around the State House vicinity about a certain Massachusetts
Governor (a Republican who served in the early '60's).  This fellow was so
unique, the joke went, that _four_ Massachusetts towns were named for him:

     Endicott, Peabody, Marblehead, and Athol.

I doubt Bill Weld could top this.
