A United Press article appeared in the 5 Aug San Francisco Chronicle, reporting a Gallup Poll on AIDS attitudes. Here are some of the results: Very worried that they or someone they know will contract AIDS 14% Feel that AIDS will become an epidemic for the public at large 62% To avoid the disease avoiding people they know or suspect to be homosexual 13% avoiding places where homosexuals are known to be present 28% refusing elective surgery requiring blood transfusions 21% Feel fear of AIDS is causing unfair discrimination against all homosexuals agree 46% disagree 43% Gov't spending on AIDS research not enough 50% right amount 26% too much 5% The survey of 759 adults was conducted on 1 and 2 August and has a 4% margin of error. (I, on the other hand, have a greater but yet undetermined degree of error in copying facts from news articles.) -- +--------------+-------------------------------+ | Rob Bernardo | Pacific Bell | +--------------+ 2600 Camino Ramon, Room 4E700 | | 415-823-2417 | San Ramon, California 94583 | +--------------+-------------------------------+---------+ | ihnp4!ptsfa!rob | | {nsc,ucbvax,decwrl,amd,fortune,zehntel}!dual!ptsfa!rob | +--------------------------------------------------------+
