An hypothesis by a guy named “Baron-Cohen” of autism’s etiology has been getting a lot of press recently.  He blames the increase in autism diagnoses on an increase in assortive mating among people with analytic minds—aka “nerds”.  Recently, the most read techie website on the net, Slashdot (calling itself, “News for Nerds”) carried an article which trumpted Baron-Cohen’s research.  My response is that not only are nerds not reproducing enough to create an explosion of anything but that the data provided by Baron-Cohen is virtually non-existent and is weaker than the data supporting the hypothesis that immigrants from India are causing the explosion of autism.

AIDS hasn’t been much in domestic news in Britain for many years.  So you could be forgiven for being a bit surprised by the British government’s new advertising campaign warning of a heterosexual AIDS epidemic?

Celebrities including LL Cool J, Christina Aguilera and Ashley Judd are photographed with their hands clasped over their ears or with their mouths sealed with masking tape.  Below, the relevant bit of the age-old adage is spelt out - Hear no evil, See no evil, Speak no evil - and a reminder about Aids.

The message is clear: when it comes to sex and HIV, we are not listening.  It is the first sally in what will become the most high-profile sex education campaign seen in Britain for many years, including a £50m advertising blitz

Of course, this isn’t the first such campaign.  Back in the 1980’s when the awful shock of AIDs burst upon public consciousness we were treated to a particularly graphic and memorable one.  Falling tombstones, if you recall.  You might also recall that the Tory government of the day was bullied by the homosexual lobby into targeting the campaign at heterosexuals when they all knew who the high-risk minority really was.  It was a spectacularly wrong decision which could have cost many homosexual men their lives.

At least the Tories had to be forced to do the progressive thing.  Labour needs no such encouragment, no bullying to prevent knowledge of the high-risk minority being passed to the population at large.

I remember a Romanian telling me, just before the downfall of the Ceausescus, that it would take three generations at least to remove the taint of the communist system from the souls of Romanians; it will take at least as long to remove managerialism from the souls of the British, though it has been with us for so comparatively short a period.
