(Sydney, Australia) Australia has seen a 50-percent increase in the number of HIV/AIDS cases over the past eight years, a government report said Wednesday. It points the finger in large part to Australian gays bringing the virus home with them after vacationing in Asia.

The 2007 statistics issued…

Its important to be safe ANYWHERE you have sex but overseas the necessity is amplified. Especially in areas with extremely high rates of HIV.

A few years ago we had a crazy idea. A project which would document and expose the desires and goals of the common man. It would give a voice and a platform to the dedicated activist, concerned citizen, and the occasional oddball. A voice for every one.

And a street-level call to action.

So we developed a framework. We wrote a manifesto. We created a TV show. We built an advocacy network. And we documented the whole process.

And what a process it was. We spoke with artists, non-profits, and captains of industry. We met a lot of people we liked, some we didn’t like at all, and we accepted all of them.

We made personal sacrifices that only true believers would make. People said it couldn’t be done. But many believed in it so much, that it developed a life of it’s own. The same people would also ask us why we did it, why we’d make such sacrifices. Why we’d risk everything of value in our lives.

So the question now is what does the future hold for this project? We want a cultural revolution. No more, no less. That’s what we’re willing to accept.

But we have a question for you. What do you want? Maybe you want to get involved? Tell us your Manifesto. And stay tuned to recent developments on the blog.
