But what really dismayed me were comments by Harold Goldstein, executive director of the California Center for Public Health Advocacy: "There is not a single public health crisis in the history of mankind that has been solved by handing out brochures.”

I would expect someone representing an office in my state to be a lot more educated on the issues. At least enough to acknowledge how simple public education campaigns in Africa on hygeine and hand-washing are, in some cases, virtually doubling life expectancy.

In light of that, Mr. Goldstein's comments smack of both ignorance and arrogance.
