I live in Africa.
Why are people dying of AIDS? Because they are irresponsible. Its not the drug companies' fault. And they SHOULD be allowed to make any kind of profit on their products, since its THEIRS. They developed it, so its their property, and they can do with it what they wish.
People here in Africa REFUSE to use condoms, even though they are educated on their use and why they should use them. And the men here refuse to have single partner relationships. The people of Africa are too damn primitive, you cannot save them from AIDS. No amount of AIDS drugs will help.
Need does NOT give you the RIGHT to anything.

The irreducible primary of altruism, the basic absolute, is self-sacrifice - which means: self-immolation, self-abnegation, self-denial, self-destruction - which means: the self as a standard of evil, the selfless as a standard of the good.
