The sunflower is my favorite plant. Aside from its many uses (food, oil, etc.), it is a symbol of hope, peace, and nonviolence. I have a dedicated personal page on sunflowers. The link is in my list of links below.

    Members of the NAACP took a bus rideon a 1953 bus in downtown Salt Lake in honor of the 50th anniversary of the day that Rosa Parks refused to give her seat on a bus to a white man.

    I found an article in the Salt Lake Tribune about a "leadership breakfast" held yesterday in recognition of
    World Aids Day. While the cause is noble, I find it odd that a fancy breakfast in a fancy corporate hotel was held. I cannot help but think that a low-cost event would have been just as effective and the money that would normally be spent on a swank affair could be donated to the Utah Aids Foundation. Perhaps the cost of the event was absorbed in some other way, the article did not say.

    At any rate,the article stated that in Utah, the HIV numbers have tripled since 2001, from 36 that year to 102 projected for 2005, a startling figure. Yes, more resources are needed to address this issue.

    World Aids Day December 1

    According to UNAIDS estimates, there were 37.2 million adults and 2.2 million children living with HIV at the end of 2004, and during the year 4.9 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35. Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV is a threat to all men, women and children on all continents around the world.
    Started in 1988, World AIDS Day is about increasing awareness, education and fighting prejudice. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
