BL> At last count there were 10 million people with AIDS and 10 of

 GG> Did not convert ?? To what, Judaism? ;-)

  Roman Catholicism is the most popular conversion, ever since John
Wayne converted on his deathbed and got a free ticket straight to
heaven.

  Or that was the theory, anyway...

 GG> I'd bet, but it seems sick, twisted and morbid to bet on

  In the midst of life we are in death. Man has but a short time to
live and is full of sorrow (or shit, or something like that).

 BL> On a "per-death" basis, the USA spends $37,000 on AIDS $3,000
 BL> on cancer and $1,000 on heart disease.

 GG> Dunno where your figures are from

  As I said, I saw it on TV: something called The American Heart
Foundation pushing for more funds.

  Their point was quite valid: that not many actually die from AIDS in
proportion the the amount spent on research. I don't doubt it for a
moment. The pharmaceutical company that creates a magic bullet which
allows poofters to push poo without consequences stands to make
billions.
