- Well, we finally have a moralist who can distinguish evil from
- maliciously evil? What crossed me over that border? That I don't
- agree with you? My how the net does howl.

- First, the militant homosexuals did not pollute the blood supply,
- but did threaten it.
-
- Don't you ever hear things? Don't you ever read papers or books?
- Maybe you weren't old enough to have a radio in 1983? I thought
- _everyone_ had heard about this one. "Gays, AIDS and You" by Enrique
- Rueda, page 17. In 1983, before blood screening was developed, Robert
- Schwab, who has since died of AIDS, called on the male homosexuals to
- give blood, whatever it takes to raise public consciousness for AIDS
- research. "If that includes blood terrorism, so be it."
-
- I'm surprised that such an inflammatory remark missed you back then.
- But, then, I'm the ignorant one. My error. Happy Thanksgiving (really).
