[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Nobody "removed" a third of anything. You must be stoned. Unless you're going to tell me that abstinence causes AIDS, and the Ugandan ABC program is a failure, when it clearly isn't. You know, if you really feel THIS strongly about it, how much money did YOU donate to AIDS-related charities this year? Well, you just donated another $47. So did I. Happy now? (Actually, given our tax system, you and I didn't donate quite that much. Those evil rich people did. And that goes beyond whatever they normally donate to said NGO charities. Hate them.) OH, and BTW, the last UN report I read about this crisis asked for a [b]global[/b] donation of 7 billion a year to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and Malaria. Given that we'll now be putting up $2-3 billion (between 28% and 43%of that,) [b]by ourselves[/b], says something. We are, as usual, taking on a good chunk of Someone Else's Problem. Not bad for an evil nation that only cares about its own interests. [/QB][/QUOTE]
