I'm reallly glad to be starting these commentaries again.
You know, I've wanted to return to the fray for some time
to give voice against the oppression
and indignities that beset the world,
especially when they are applied to women.
And I hope to do a couple of commentaries a week.
You know, the situation,
the response to *** and AIDS at the moment
is poised on a precipice.
We can either move forward and subdue the pandemic--
We know how to do that.
And save countless, millions of lives.
Or we can lurch backwards with incomparable human suffering.
I want to follow the process of that subject
in every way, in every conceivable fashion
regardless how vaguely related it may be,
I'm going to do it without any of the diplomatic niceties
and diplomatic gobbledygook.
I'm going to speak frankly, openly, forthrightly, take-no-prisoners,
but try to liven it on occasion with acerbic touches of humor.
AIDS-Free World has a lot to say.
We won't hesitate to say it.
I'll fire the opening salvo in a few days' time.
I'm Stephen Lewis.
