CBS national news of 18 September 1986 carried a section on AIDS in central Africa. According to CBS AIDS was first recogized there in 1983 and has now spread to 20% of the general population - men, women, and CHILDREN. Three-year-olds and under may have contracted the disease from their mothers at or before birth; adults through sexual contact. However, many of the infected children shown were patently more than three years old. HOW DID THEY GET AIDS? Discussion, anyone? (This is posted to net.legal & net.motss because of the vigorous interest there a while ago and because I maintained in earlier postings that: a. Assurances by experts that there is no danger to the general populace are not to be trusted b. We should be PREPARED to take drastic [legal] action to fight the epidemic)

AIDS should be outlawed, and any AIDS virus that does not leave town should be strung up! That will solve the problem. Dave !
