This type of revolutionary thinking will not win friends among the "progressives" of the world. But then again maybe it's just the "progressives" way of culling their herd.
I know liberals who really beliefve this stuff. They think conservatives and Catholics are "hung up on sex," "just want everyone to not have sex because they aren't getting any," and want to "punish" women who find contraceptives inconvenient and thus find themselves pregnant, and punish homosexuals by not finding a cure for AIDS.
You are more correct than you may think. So-called "progressives" see life as a zero sum game and apply Malthusian theory in every area. Helping people kill themselves through STDs is just one of their tricks.
