Sex -- To Whom Are Teens Listening?
Battle for Sex-Education Supremacy May Be Missing the Point
Feature by Ed Vitagliano -- June 20, 2003 (Agape Press)
A study published in the Alan Guttmacher Institute's Family Planning Perspectives showed that parents can best keep their teens from becoming sexually active by doing three things: maintaining a warm and loving relationship with their children; letting teens know that they are expected to abstain from sex until marriage; and avoiding the discussion of birth control.

In the Face of Exciting Options, Monogamy Continues to Be in Style
By Leela Jacinto -- June 18 -- (ABC News)
Culture, according to Schwartz, plays a large part in the overriding tendency to keep trying at marriage. "In a culture where self-worth is bound up in monogamy, it's hard for people to break out of it and even if they do, they do feel bad about it because they're breaking the rules."

Liberian conflict threatens region: Refugees are gathering in camps
and flowing into Sierra Leone as rebels may move on Monrovia.
By Danna Harman | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
While there is no hard evidence that direct assistance is being given to the rebels by these Western powers, the indifference to Guinean support for the LURD indicates where they stand on the issue. Just last month, the US approved giving the Guinean army $3 million, despite various reports by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which show LURD combatants being armed, trained, and transported into Liberia by Guinea.

Israeli-Palestinian Re-unification

Theater of Deception Bush, Sharon and Abbas
By SAM HAMOD -- 08/19/03: (Information Clearinghouse)
George W. Bush, it appears is an adept thespian. Look at the way he kept telling the world that he was "doing all I can not to go to war with Iraq"--when in fact, he'd made the decision months earlier to definitely go to war against Iraq.

Why No Objection to Israel��s WMD?
By Hassan Tahsin -- CAIRO, 20 June 2003 (Arab News)
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has spelled out clearly his reasons for accepting the Middle East road map with 14 reservations. During the Aqaba summit on June 6, he said: ��Permanent peace requires permanent security. This permanent security will bring about permanent peace to Israel.�� To accept peace on Sharon��s terms would make the proposed Palestinian state a mockery in the service of Israel��s security.

Appeal: For African Brothers and Sisters...
by Jean-Pierre Laurent -- June 2003

. . . Dear brothers and sisters
. . . As l do regularly on our list , l am asking anyone of you if he or she would be interrested to help an African blessed family to start a business in order to survive or even take steps toward a good start in life. l know the situation of many families who dont know what they are going to eat tomorrow; everyday is just a matter of survival. My plan is to find another family to help them create a small business for them to live on, and hopefully expand. This is a matter of $200 or $300 -- l do not ask for a long-term support over years; but some money given only once. l am asking--on the other side--for a clear plan of how they want to build up their business.
. . . l know these families personaly, and know also that they are serious and dedicated brothers and sisters.
. . . If anyone is interested, he or she can contact me privatly; and according to your wish, l can bring you in contact with the other family (email adress) or can be a mediator between both sides.
. . . I am sure it will be a very rich experience spiritualy for both sides and our world family will come a little closer.
. . . Thanks in advance.
. . . JP
