ICF photo Contest 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

We are very pleased to be able to inform you about the launch of WHO's
photo and video contest, "Images of Health and Disability 2006/2007".
This years contest is organized in collaboration with the WHO
Department on Public Health & Environment. The main theme will be
dedicated to "Health and Environment" -- an invitation to provide
high-quality photographs and for the first time, short video clips on
the positive or negative impact of the environment on people's health
and functioning. The contest is open as of today until 9th March 2007.
This is an invitation to raise awareness on the importance on ensuring
healthier and more enabling environments through powerful images,
illustrations, stories and video clips. A single powerful image can
form the basis of an excellent lesson, generate intense and thoughtful
discussion, and, to use the time honoured saying, be as effective as a
thousand words. Full details of the contest are herewith attached for
your ease of reference.

We would like to generate a maximum outreach for maximum entries. We
therefore would like to request from you to please highlight, publicize
and disseminate the announcement, poster and entry form as widely as
possible, and for further dissemination to appropriate professional
networks if possible.

The French and Spanish versions of the announcement will be available
online early next year.

The contest is highlighted on the ICF web site
(http://www3.who.int/icf) as well as on the Public Health and
Environment website (www.who.int/phe) and will be on WHO's home page as
of 2nd January 2007.

The winners of last year's contest can be found on the ICF web site

Thanks you in advance for your time and attention.

Yours truly,

ICFphotocontest.

Now hold on a second, that should be

"Images of Disease and Disability"

If you want pictures of cripples you should also have pictures
of festering abscesses. Else the cripples will feel it's them
or rosy health. If there are all sorts of horrible diseases in
the contest they at the least can feel 'Well, at least I don't
have _that_'.

You folks at the WHO just don't think these things through.
At least the CDC has it name right, though I suppose it will be
relabeled the Centers for Health Control in the near future.

Any society that legalizes alcohol the way the US does and can't
decriminalize the use and sale of the majority of other "illegal" drugs
is seriously screwed up. Not to mention missing out on creative ways to
tax that recreation-like alcohol use and cigarettes. Better the
criminals make their money and pay bribes etc than approach the level of
a truly "free society".

I say treatment for the abusers and let those that can manage
themselves and behave do as they will. Which includes those like me that
don't use illegal drugs.
