Great reply!

I agree, Small Pox should be above most everything on the "Priority-To-Do-List."

And you're right about Klintoon, or Jimmuh-Peanuts-For-Brains, or anyone else winning the Nobel, as long as they can bash America. Idgits!

Outstanding, FRiend!

[fqued]

Nurse's aide clinton wrote, "Prevention doesn't work unless large numbers of people agree to be tested. They won't agree to be tested if all they will learn is that they are going to die."

Note well the total non sequitur: It is just not true that prevention won't work unless people agree to be tested. Prevention and testing are two entirely differently things. With prevention, an individual does not need to be tested.

ex-aide clinton fails remedial logic 101.

[kidd]

...and could infect 100 million people over the next eight years...

I found it interesting how the former President continues to think in terms of political cycles. The placement of this sentence near the beginning of the article hints that his intentions are political, not humanitarian.

[Mr. K]

geez Clintoon is an a$$hole... Who asked him for his opinion?


I'm telling you- this guy is running for U.N. leader- Kofe Anon better watch for the Arkancide squads..

LOL

Kofi-the-Irrelevent...step aside...a$$hole after your job!

The way AIDS has been treated in this country, with the bending over to the sodomite lobby (pun intended), is the real issue. Back when it first started, some sort of quarantine should have been set up to contain the spread, like is done for TB. Yes, rounding up people with it smacks of fascism, but I believe that comfortable accomodations could have been made; definitely not suggesting a concentration camp-like situation. Now it is way too late to do that, and look where we're at - it's out of control in African countries and is now spreading through the female population here in the U.S.

Of course, the best and cheapest way to stop the spread of AIDS is to stop engaging in anal sex and I.V. drug use, but hey, can't be telling others what to do, can we? Instead, they and their lobby can tell us that we need to spend billions of dollars looking for a cure to their immoral and stupid behavior. So goes liberal thought.

Hanoi Bill teaching folks to hate America again? Traitor.

What's he done with HIS millions?

[demosthenes the elder]

Dear Bubba,
Actually, the world of the future might consider things in a very different light, Mr. Clinton.
They might, instead, consider the long-standing med-tech and food-subsidy policies of the West to be the dumbest damned thing ever done, and the failure to aggressively treat those who contracted an entirely preventable disease through foolish behavior in pursuit of ephemeral pleasures to be the first sign of a dawning rationality in international medical affairs.
Is this rant of yours an extension of your immortal bullsh- ah- philosophy of feeling the pain of others? My man, the only pain you really ought to be feeling is your own.

[concerned about politics]

No, prevention won't work when people continue to be promiscuous. Why would they think people would change their lifestyle after testing postive just to protect others, if they wouldn't change it to prevent becoming infected in the first place?

A thought like that would be WAY over Clintons head. He just wouldn't get it!

[Doc Savage]

HIV doesn't cause AIDs; and AIDs is not a sexually transmitted disease.

[American in Israel]

Great point! Bttt No, prevention won't work when people continue to be promiscuous. Why would they think people would change their lifestyle after testing postive just to protect others, if they wouldn't change it to prevent becoming infected in the first place?

[immadashell]

Hypocracy is live and well in Slick's mind.

"To compound the horror, millions of children are born into the world carrying H.I.V."

Did they contract the disease at the moment of birth or at some point before they were "human" and eligible to be terminated? What does "babies in utero" mean, Bill?

"Perhaps the greatest beneficiaries of testing would be pregnant or new mothers, who can transmit H.I.V. to their babies in utero..."

Who deserves to live more, innocent babies or druggies and f packers?

"People who have the disease will live longer, healthier lives. This will make a big difference not only to them, but to businesses that will keep productive workers, governments that will spend less on caring for those with illnesses brought on by AIDS and children who won't become orphans."

The following part must have been written by Hillary and Co.

"More must be done by governments, too, especially in answering the call of Kofi Annan, secretary general of the United Nations, for $10 billion to fight AIDS worldwide. Governments must also push pharmaceutical companies to make good on their commitments to provide drugs at discount prices or to stop trying to block the purchase of generic drugs by poor countries."

More government is needed, as long as Morals 101 is not taught in schools.

"...our failure to recognize the moral and practical imperatives..."

This guy knows something about MORALS???????????

"...people suffering with AIDS risk becoming unstable and susceptible to the forces of lawlessness..."

I will say he does know about lawlessness.

"...there is no other moral or practical choice..."

There he goes again.

The word is HYPOCRACY, Stupid!!!

[Pliney the younger]

Dear Jackbill,

You are exactly right. America is sick to death of these liberal hypocrites!

[CaptainK]

Don't remember the Starr report mentioning that HE OF THE KNOW IT ALL donned a condom for Miss Monica.

The message is definitely to focus away from the ayrabs and towards global attention to AIDS. Continuing the "shrill rhetoric" from the New York Times-today:

World AIDS Day Draws Small Crowds for Big Plight

By JENNIFER MEDINA

Hundreds of people gathered across New York City yesterday at rallies and memorials for World AIDS Day, though advocates said the sparse attendance reflected a need to refocus attention on the disease.

"It is hard to grasp that we can be this far in the crisis and still have this far to go," Brent Nicholson Earle, a veteran AIDS activist, said during a rally at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in Greenwich Village.

Last year, AIDS was diagnosed in more than 6,000 people in New York City. And in November, the United Nations estimated that about 42 million people worldwide were H.I.V.-positive.

From the West Village to China and South Africa, events were held around the globe yesterday to draw attention to their plight....
