- Apologies to those overly sensitive denizens of talk.bizarre who are
- too lazy to put /*AIDS/:j in their killfiles, but still get miffed
- when folks argue politics in the wrong group.
-
- But I REFUSE to subscribe to a.p.bush or a.p.clinton just to flame Mr.
- Fusco here into next week.
-
- So. Killfile me now.

- Are you going to start whinging about ``political correctness'' now?
- You're a moron. A buffoon. If you had even two neurons to rub
- together, you'd immediately commit seppuku in shame and horror for the
- idiotic things you've posted on a world-wide network.
-
- We can discuss quarantining AIDS patients until the sun burns out --
- it won't change the fact that quarantines are only justified for
- preventing the spread of disease in only the most obscenely rare
- cases. AIDS is *NOT* one of them.
-
- The only people who think quarantining AIDS patients is a good idea
- are morons like you who don't have even a cursory understanding of the
- success rates of quarantines, let alone a clue about how HIV is
- spread, and Fidel Fucking Castro, who regularly rounds them up and
- puts them in `camps.'
-
- # Quarantining people is an unfortunate but reasonable conclusion when faced
- # with an epidemic such as this.
-
- Die, you greedheaded ignoramus. If Wild Bill Dannemeyer gets his wish
- that every PWA and HIV+ person in the country is rounded up and
- `quarantined,' here's hoping you're one of the lucky ones on the
- Boxcar Express to Hell.
-
- # I don't care how emotional people get over this topic, because I believe
- # it is an idea worth discussing if we are EVER to seriously combat this
- # disease.
-
- More than half of all Americans believe that the positions of the
- stars in the sky have an influence over their daily lives. But that's
- *harmless* stupidity. *You*, sir, are of the malignant stupidity
- variety, and I invite you to take your Spotlight magazine faux-
- intellectual Call For Open Debate, fold it all up so it's all nice,
- sharp corners, and...
-
- ...you know the rest.
