This past weeke...I couldn't agree more, Aaron.<br /><br />This past weekend, I read in a "Vancouver Sun" article on AIDS that, in the opinion of a doctor who's spent his entire medical career working with those who have the disease, society has essentially decided people with AIDS, including drug users, prostitutes, the homeless, and homosexuals, are getting what they deserve. So a moral judgment has been brought against them/us, and the funding continues, to this day, to be sorely lacking.<br /><br />The way I look at it is, in Canada at least, gay marriage may be legal. But the fact that the Canadian government under-funds research in AIDS shows how it feels about those who have been traditionally marginalized. As the doctor points out, it's a very different story when we're talking about such illnesses as breast cancer or heart disease.<br /><br />Thanks for your interest in my blog and for your comment. I appreciate it.

I've presented his comment in this way in order to eliminate the hyperlink attached to his name.<br /><br />I think society has everything to do with how many men and other people died of AIDS in the past, and present. "Society" is this not so benign entity that dictates how everyone should look, behave, be. Our "society" is to blame for a lot of untruths and should be held accountable through the media that spawns this garbage about a lot of things including Aids and the people affected by it. <br /><br />Rick Modienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157314737543591048noreply@blogger.com
