The mortality rate from non-natural causes in South Africa, twenty years ago, was 2.2%.

Today in the middle of an 'aids epidemic' it remains at 2.2%.

Either every other disease has decreased in exact INVERSE proportion to AIDS, or AIDS in Africa is simply the old disease renamed.

It is easy to get funding for AIDS but almost impossible to get it for the old epidemic diseases that have ravaged Africa for centuries.

So, what does that mean? Is there an AIDS problem in Africa, or is it all a lie...(it's late, i've had no sleep in days, sorry).

"It is easy to get funding for AIDS but almost impossible to get it for the old epidemic diseases that have ravaged Africa for centuries."

True. When was the last time you heard of a Hollywood benefit to raise funds to eliminate dysentery?
