"I'm the fat old man of the crowd (well, make that middle-aged and overweight). My life's arc has been colorful in some odd and delightful ways, and though by most conventional standards I'm not 'successful', I've mostly enjoyed the ride. I now keep busy writing, playing with my dog, and as a book & document conservator in private practice."

UTI Associate blogger Rick Ulrey comes to UTI by way of the Marine Corps: "I'm 31 and I earn my living fixing computers. I served 6 years in the Marine Corps and consider myself a liberal libertarian with conservative leanings. I am a firm believer that the world would be a better place if people took responsibility for themselves and their actions. As you can see from the picture I love food. That's me eating a banana fritter in Australia with a nice cup of coffee. I love to cook and my other hobbies include hiking, camping, reading and on and offline gaming."

Vatican: Better late than never.

Submitted by Cat on November 25, 2006 - 3:25pm.

Recently the Vatican announced that it would allow Catholics to use condoms if it was to prevent the spread of HIV between partners. All I can say is, it's about time. AIDS has only been an epidemic, as oppose to "gay cancer" aka "god's punishment to sinners", for about two decades now. It's about time that the Vatican got with the program.

They are reluctant to take this oh so bold move because they fear that this could open the door for condoms to be used to prevent pregnancy. Imagine! Using condoms for what they were made for! Condoms at least get around the excuse that you're killing babies by not allowing those babies to be created in the first place, however this just isn't good enough for the reproduction-obsessed folks in the Vatican. All I can say is, man are they in the wrong line of work.
