I really don't understand the position some of you are taking on this issue. Doing anything other than everything that is humanly possible to eliminate AIDS is a total no brainer. Some of you seem to be more concerned about SARS thatn you are AIDS. We live in a country that can afford to do just about anything it chooses to do. We have the potential of generating enormous wealth when it is necessary for us to do so. AIDS is a threat that is bigger than any threat ever faced by mankind. It matters not where you live. It matters not your lifestyle. It matters not your socio-economic status. AIDS can reach out and touch us all. Don't geve me the crap about needing to help those who are homeless and....... We have more than adequate programs to help those who truly cannot help themselves - the problem is that there a thousand who choose not to help themselves for every one that honestly cannot. So long as papers are full of jobs that are going unfilled don't give me whining stories about these poor helpless people. Tell them to get a damn job! If they tell you there are none e-mail me and I'll send you a damn newspaper. End of rant.
