I recall talking about AIDS when I was in Jr-high, well before the mid '80s. I know that there was quite a bit of concern about it then. And again, I have no problem with him trying to raise money for AIDS causes, but is it making a difference? AIDS awareness and education will only stem the spread of AIDS, not stop it. Is the money that is being raised getting into the right hands? Before anyone gets too fuzzy and warm about Bono, Elizabet Taylor ar any other AIDS activist we have to question if what is being done is the right thing.
