I learned something new the other day while we were chatting. Rebekah, who volunteers on a regular basis at the Bryan's House in Dallas told us that if they can detect a new born baby is infected with HIV within the first 48 hours after his birth, they can pump enough medicine into the baby to cure him for good. All the doctors out there, can you confirm?

Also, more about the president's state of the union last night. Why are we Republicans talking more about mandatory regulations? Wouldn't positive incentives always be better? We should reserve negative enforcement to the minimum and maximize positive enforcements, the same way they train dogs, dolphins, and other animals. Or as they have been encouraging parents to do in bringing up their children. If president Bush wanted to increase internal combustion engine efficiency by increasing the number of miles per gallon, create incentives instead of more government mandated regulations! Heck, without government intervention, maybe Toyota can force GM to do it. As it had many times before.
