It's world AIDS Day again so here's what I have to say about that:
Fuck AIDS and fuck HIV. If we put one third or one quarter of the money we've wasted on Iraq and Afghanistan into curing HIV/AIDS, then we'd have it cured by now. But since it's mostly gays, blacks, and drug users who contract HIV/AIDS, the government doesn't give a shit. It's more important that we prosecute an illegal immoral war on brown skinned people who live in an oil rich part of the world than curing a disease that hits gays, Africans, and drug users.

Looks like you finally get the reality of the situation. I heard an interview today with a guy who runs a bbq joint and worked with North Korea who said he could have 'delivered' North Korea's nuclear program to the Bush 2 for Christmas because he had those kind of contacts. Bush refused because a scary North Korea is good for business. Not the 'life' business but the other one.
It's like we've traveled 40 years back in time.
Sadly, that's likely true.
I heard Chris Rock talk about how we're never curing aids because, like all successful drug dealers, Big Pharma makes all the money on the Come Back. Can't cure a disease that's making a fortune for Big Pharma.
Chris Rock is right. I have lost my favorite uncle and two fabulous friends to AIDS. They were 43,38, and 55 years old. Thanks, Ronald Reagan. In the future, I hope what's left of this country has a national holiday called "Traitor Day," where the bones of our traitors--Reagan, all Bushes, Cheney, Kissinger, the Clintons, etc--are dug up and pissed on for 24 hours. At the end of the day, the bones are reinterred....for the next year. Hey, you know there will be a world of fun, especially since the day will offer all the free beer you can drink.
PENolan: You are absolutely correct. I was an AIDS activist during the Clinton era, and that was the biggest stumbling block that kept him from supporting the AIDS Cure Project.
