Obviously, Streisand has no power and never had any. Reno had some. I agree with the hyperbole bump.

I heard that Streisand's anger with Reagan centers on her son's HIV positive status. She blames Reagan for not doing enough to prevent AIDS from spreading. I understand being angry that one's son is infected with a fatal disease. The reasoning process behind blaming Reagan is only sound if you think he could have done something to prevent it. Practically speaking, yes, he could. But would the libs have swallowed THAT?

Yes, Reagan could have brought the spread of HIV to a virtual standstill. He could have put everybody who is HIV-positive in camps after mandatory testing, and sealed the borders to HIV-positives and those whose behavior puts them at risk for being carriers not yet testing postiive. Now just imagine how the libs would have screamed at THAT. Imagine the Congress we had then letting it stand, imagine the Supreme Court letting him do it. But it would have WORKED! And saved lives.

She would have done better to have advised her son to avoid intravenous recreational drugs and have only monogamous, married, heterosexual sex regardless of his appetites or predisposition--or do without. That's how you avoid catching HIV today, as an individual. As a society, we'd have to isolate everyone who has it. And nobody is willing to do that.

It's easier to blame Reagan!

good post

(doubt all following as hearsay from media):

average cost of an AIDS case - $1,000,000+

average length of a "longtime companion" affair - 18 months

average annual dying from AIDS - 60,000-130,000 (other reasons are always given in obits!)

many "gay?" men have over 150 homosexual partners in just one year

Fun Question: ask a physician what he would do if an known AIDS/TB infected person coughed/sneezed in his/her face on an elevator

A - Nothing
B - Smile and say "God Bless You!"
C - Hand him/her a purple lace hanky
D - Ask him/her over for drinks
E - Pray
F - Call your AIDS specialist buddy fast
G - Make out a will
H - Send a donation to GLAD
I - All of the above

(watch their face after asking them that)

A Board Certified physician in NYC gave me the above

Ready to back "Homosexual Marriages" and "full partner medical rights" now?
