Wasting money on AIDS

OK. I am insensitive. I know that. Everyone knows that. I have been taking the "cruel and insensitive" Gottesgericht approach to AIDS for years: if you are worried about AIDS, quit *^*^ing everything that moves. When Georgie Porgie, in his state of the Union address (I am sorry, but I hate that word: Union. At this point it should be called the State of the Empire, State of the Nation, State of the Anything But Union... You-nion, a cross between a leftist accusation and an onion, the most despised of vegetables. Pete Seeger, the old Communist, pronounces it exactly as it should be pronounced, as a curse, an insult, a stink...ooops. Sorry. I will quit channeling Pinochet now) pledged wasting tons of money on AIDS in Africa, I gasped, I guffawed, I called him a Weenie.

All of my sober-minded and compassionate friends, in rather somber tones, replied to my, "just tell the fags to stop $%^&ing!" with a solemn and very sad reminder of the innocent victims of AIDS: children, women whose husbands screw monkeys, and all the sorts of loveliness one finds on that continent (and the first one who claims that "ooooh, if only you saw Africa you would not say such hateful, ignorant things" gets b-slapped. I have been to Africa, from Egypt to the Cape of Good Hope, and let me tell you this: it is a pit, from top to bottom. Yes there are beautiful things there, which were beautifully preserved and increased under Colonialism (yes, I am reading V.S. Naipaul these days and have been thinking about Colonialism more and more), but now the foxes are guarding the hen houses, and they have European technology at their disposal.).

Yes, I agreed, the children are innocent. The wives, whose husbands sleep with very young whores at the advice of their witch doctors, yes, innocent.

But it is still a lot of money, money that is going to be primarily wasted on promoting useless and immoral things, money that will go to a variety of wicked "public health" a-holes who will end up spending it on combatting "second-hand" smoke, so I am agin it. Agin. Agin, and, once again, Agin!

So, when I read from an AIDS profiteer that we are flushing too much money down the toilet of AIDS, I have to feel vindicated.
