I agree.
Publicly. This is beyond tolerance.
Yep. In the early 80’s (possibly late 70’s – ’79 to ’81 or there about) they had a guy on a Houston AM talk radio show. I recall that the show was called The Devil’s Advocate, and I recall that the hosts name was Ron Paul (but I could be confusing things – it’s been a while).
I do remember one specific show in which an HIV-positive man called in and described how he (and others that were HIV+) would meet somewhere once a month, split up into groups, and carpool to various cities to donate blood purposefully to infect the blood supply.
His quote, IIRC, was that “if homosexuals (many *also* IV drug users, BTW) are the only ones with AIDS the U.S. government will just let us die. We have to make it so their children and parents and friends get it.” -Something very similar to that.
Several of us tried to make a stink of it – I’d recorded that particular show and sent copies to several state representatives… nothing. I’ve sort of accepted the fact that if I need a transfusion at this late date it’s time to go anyway…
