Late one night last september a police officer saw me run two red lights. She pulled me Over to the Side of a Busy Street and arrested me for driving while intoxicated. I had never been arrested before. I had never seen the inside of a lockup or been fingerprinted. I Felt degraded and humiliated. It was awful. I could Only think that this stupid policewoman had no business hassling a respectable person like me. I am writing this letter to publicly thank her for possibly saving my life and preventing me from causing the injury or death of others. In accordance with Connecticut Law Ray Drivers License has been suspended for 90 Days. I can to drive to work. I can to drive to do my marketing. I can to drive anywhere. And i can to Stop thinking about All the other times i pulled up to my favorite bar tanked up on Premium Beer and then became the self designated Driver from hell. Many times i done to remember How i got Home. I can to figure out Why i was never arrested before. Some might say my Luck finally ran out. Actually my Good Fortune is just beginning. After several months of sobriety i am thinking More clearly and acting More responsibly than i Ever Nave in my entire life. Dear Abby dear Abby i agree with your rejection of or. Gilkeson a suggestion to show kids horror films on sexually transmitted diseases like the kind the armed services used to show before a a big  education not scare tactics is the Best Way to fight sexually transmitted diseases and his aids. I was concerned however at the rather High rate of condom failure you cited in your answer 11 percent to 19 percent. The failure rate can be lowered if the condom is used correctly. Of course the safest sex is no sex at All but for Many that is not realistic. When you choose to have sex with someone you Are taking a risk. Using a condom will Lessen that risk but it is still there. And done to let anyone Tell you they a could no to possibly have  Only you know what you have done in your past so protect yourself and your partner Many manufacturers now include instructions with their condoms or read them and if the condoms do not have instructions buy a Brand that does have them. Never use an Oil based lubricant such As vaseline with a condom a it will destroy the condom and neither person is protected. Always use a water based lubricant like by Jelly. The spermicide Nonoxynol-9 has been shown to kill his so use it if possible. Never use two condoms at the same time since they will rub together and both of them May break. As i said before education is our most important weapon against his aids. Abby i would like to thank you for your Frank open and compassionate response to this crisis. The most important message we can get out is that aids does not care who you Are or where you live. We know that simple changes in behaviour can keep you from getting his. Learn what those changes Are and follow them. Aids education is very important to me. For the last two years i have been an actor with health works theatre formerly aids educational theatre. We have two shows the wizard of aids which is for High school through adult audiences and what s so big about aids which is for fourth through eighth grades. These shows educate and entertain at the same time helping people understand just what his and aids Are How his can be transmitted and How to protect themselves. We travel the Chicago area and in the Midwest bringing aids education wherever it is needed but there Are still Many people who do not have even the most Basic aids information a information that could save their lives. I realize that parts of this letter May be too Frank for publication in a family newspaper but this is lifesaving information. If you cannot publish this letter then please find an appropriate Way to get this information out to people. Many Young people read your column and they need this information More than anyone. Keep up the Good work. James e. Grote Chicago dear or. Grote your message is too important not to publish in its entirety. My mail reflects the fact that Many readers still believe they cannot get aids because their partners look healthy and therefore they do not feel that Protection is necessary.
