Sorry for not getting back to you earlier but I have not been near a 
terminal in a few days and I am just now catching up on the recent posts.  
Would mind giving me the EXACT issue of the JAMA that you got you 
statistics from ?  I would be interested in finding and using these 
statistics in the next class I teach to Police Officers.  Maybe that will 
calm their fears of AIDS and they won't have to wear rubber gloves any 
more, like the Doctors have advised.

Had you read my post a little closer, you would have seen that I did NOT 
say that AIDS was THE leading killers.  I stated that AIDS was BECOMING 
ONE of the leading killers.  (important difference there !)  If you are 
going to argue a point, please spend some time to notice subtle 
differences.  It changes the meaning of passages.  Quoting out of context 
is not a very good habit to get into !

I also see that you have chosen to ignore my other statement.  This is the 
one concerning David Duke and Louis Farrakhan being of the same stripe.  
(I can change the wording because I made the original assertion !)
You need to really pay attention to what is going on around you.  As I 
stated earlier, Duke, Farrakhan, Kahane, et al are all of the same breed.  
"Disagree with me at your peril."  I would put them in the same boat as 
Nazis and Communists.  All are extremists and would "liquidate", "purge", 
or whatever euphemism you care to use in order to silence the opposition.  
The situation in Hebron is exactly what I am talking about.  "You do not 
ascribe to my beliefs, so you have no right to live."  That is the same 
thing as saying "stupid people should not be allowed to breed !  Where 
will it all end ?  Atilla the Hun tried it, Napoleon tried it, Hitler 
tried it, just to name a few.  There is no end to the madness.

I hope I have answered some of your questions.  Please let me know if I 
may be of service to you in the future.
