Getting Priorities Right

The UN is acting decisively to counter the tragedy in Burma. This isn't the starvation problem, or the exposure problem. No, it's something far more basic and urgent (as no doubt Cherie Blair would confirm after her tragic Balmoral experience) — the need for sex without the complication of risking the tragic possibility of a child being born.
