I was at the opening ceremonies yesterday, which were typical of conference-type events, but there were a couple of good speeches.
Bill Gates put a lot of focus on issues of women's rights and finding ways to ensure that they can protect themselves against infection. He and his wife spoke a lot more pointedly than I was expecting about harm reduction approaches and eliminating the stigma of HIV. Melinda's speech in particular was quite political, and in a good way.
Richard Gere took a few very effective shots at Harper for not being there. He essentially called him for being an ineffective leader, at least on the issues of AIDS.
Stayed for a few minutes into the concert part of the night; Tiesto opened and played for 10 minutes. |
