	Wired News: A Revolution of Sloppy Thinking
		Kelly served as mayor of DC from 1991 to 1995, sandwiched between Barry administrations.
		Kelly was widely regarded as an ineffectual mayor who somehow managed to make a bad situation worse.
		According to Kelly's site, "Spirit for a New America will highlight why the present political/social systems do not work and could not possibly work in a 'transforming' America." In a society where so many can stand on their electronic soapbox, it is understandable that people resort to outlandish statements to get attention.

	Harm Reduction: A Critical Strategy in AIDS Prevention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		There on the TV screen was our mayor, Sharon Pratt Kelly, talking about the need to provide clean needles to injection drug users in order to reduce the spread of HIV in the District of Columbia.
		She kept referring to this concept as needle exchange and was proposing that our local medical clinics provide sterile needles to drug addicts who turn in their used syringes.
		Two years later, in 1994, I came across a statistic that made me stop in my tracks: in 1991, the year before Sharon Pratt Kelly tried to institute needle exchange in D.C., 52 percent of AIDS cases among African Americans and 45 percent of cases among Latinos were associated with intravenous drug use.
