With the idea of applying to the ZDF political talent show "Ich kann Kanzler" (I can be chancellor) the foundation was laid. The Making-Of Video of the „Ich kann Kanzler" - application can be found here (at YouTube) Just in time of today's application deadline all is finished and the timing seems just perfect to start with the actual campaign "Mensch Macht Politik".

Don't forget Aids!

- banner by freshlabs -

On the occasion of the current German campaign

"Ich habe Aids nicht vergessen... und Du?"
(I haven't forgotten Aids... what about you?)

I decided to write an entry in my blog.

Cause every little note about this topic, might bring AIDS back into the people minds. Even if the disease is now treatable and apparently has lost its terror, it is still NOT curable!!! And the number of people infected rising every day!

Especially young people think more about "prevention of pregnancy" than about "protection against diseases", which in my mind is an alarming development.

While six German citizens died of the consequences of terror in 2008, which is an everyday issue in media, there were 650 people who have died of AIDS!

Think about it and get informed!
