SEX PROBLEMS (as submitted to Planetary Magazine)

Submitted by Luciana Pimentel on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at 10:47:27 AM EST.

To talk about sex, we need to consider some points that are related to this kind of subject, and the involvement of the family and friends is very necessary. People should have more information since they are young, when they are still at school. These pieces of information will avoid the dangers sex can bring them in the future.
Here in Brazil, we can see some cases of early engagement in sex. Young girls get pregnant, expecting a baby that sometimes does not know who the father is.
Sexual disease is another serious problem in Brazil and in the world. An example of sexual diseases is AIDS, which, until nowadays, does not have cure.
For all these reasons, information and the family's ideas about sex will surely help to avoid the problems that erroneous sex practice can cause.

How would you rate the emergency response efforts for Hurricane Katrina?

Options include:

A five; we're all doing all we can do

A four; People have really come together. Even if the rescue efforts were hampered a little, everyone is chipping in to help

A One; What else could they have done, given the conditions of the city?

A three; They tried hard, but factors outside of their control (looters, fires, chaos) slowed them down

A two; It was about what I expected would happen

A zero; why did President Bush wait so long to send troops? Why was there so much miscommunication among government officials?

Emergency Response? What emergency response? Government officials up through Bush should all be fired!

I'm just glad I wasn't there

If people had heeded the evacuation orders, everything would have been fine
