Hi guys: The best way to keep from getting AIDS is to sit down and keep your mouth shut. The point, not missed by the great unwashed masses, about all the AIDS "information/education" is those little terms 'no evidence to date', it seems that', there is no sign of . . . ' that betray that NO ONE REALLY KNOWS FOR SURE the full extent of the vectors for AIDS. I don't TRUST the doctors, government authorities, etc. as far as I can throw them. Do you??? (Remember Swine Flu?) Not that they are trying to fool us, but it's just that I get the uneasy feeling everyone is trying to calm things down and are they telling us what they think we need/want to hear or what they really believe to be the case? In effect they are really saying, "we don't know" to the questions about how it spreads, etc. Sure we know some, but for instance we now know that the blood tests are not as good as once stated for safeguarding the nation's blood supply. What else are we going to find out, eh? I mean after they told us to not take precautions with kids in school, food handlers, insects, etc. The above, I think, is the reason there is still much concern about contracting AIDS on the part of 'low risk groups' - the great unwashed masses. Does anyone else feel uneasy about the pronouncements from the 'experts'?? What about the issue, coming to the fore with smokers, of employment of people who take health risks that will cause their employers money for health care???? If 'high risk groups' are identified (just like smokers) will employers not hire them for the above reason and if so is that fair? Anyone care to look into the crystal ball vis a vis homosexuals??? (Someone can ask Ron Rizzo for me since he doesn't read my postings but manages to address them and not mention my name - sex with women 'unnatural' indeed, a great reply to my postings.) Gotta go gang. Happy Holidays (I really mean that.) Regards, Ken Arndt

> I don't TRUST the doctors, government authorities, etc. as far as I can > throw them. Do you??? [ARNDT] That's funny, Ken. You expect the rest of the world to trust such authorities blindly when you quote them to support your viewpoint and then say "See?". The moral? Only believe authorities who tell you what you like to hear. Right, Ken? -- Life is complex. It has real and imaginary parts. Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
