"Perhaps you have never had enormous challenges to overcome caused by either birth or trauma."

In those instances where my own bad judgment has had catastrophic results, I have taken responsibilty and attempted to minimize the impact on others. Mr. Brudnoy was a victim of his own bad judgment, and didn't seem to repent or reform. As to being "pleasant, I do not believe that I have any obligation, moral, social, or otherwise, to be Pollyanna, whether that would make me the wind beneath your wings or not. But thanks for the sage advice.

With respect to Malthus, "fixed quantity of health care" was YOUR phrase, not mine. Why, then, did you feel compelled to put it into quotes? Such misrepresentation would appear to be the act of a blatant liar, but I suppose I will "grit my teeth and try to give you the benefit of the doubt".

I do not believe that there is a "fixed quantity of health care". However, the amount of federal and state funding put into AIDS is way out of proportion to the health threat to the general, normal public. The only reason for such a waste of resources is political pressure brought to bear on cowardly or evil politicians by sodomites such as Mr. Brodnoy. You may think that to be a perfectly acceptable arrangement. I do not.

Reason: How do you feel about government-sponsored AIDS research?

Brudnoy: My hope is that we would have sufficiently limited government so that it wouldn't occur at all. The fund I created at the Massachusetts General Hospital is specifically targeting corporations and individuals to demonstrate that people, without being taxed, without being forced to do it, will contribute. If someone asks, "Should AIDS be the only disease that isn't funded by the government?", I'd say no. But if someone said I could have my druthers and the government would be cut down to [its proper size], that would be the end of it.
