-
- I heard those very words in 1986 from the mouth of the "honorable"
- (and god knows *moral*) Representative Dannemeyer of California.
-
- To which the man from the ACLU replied: "Then by your definition,
- lesbians are god's chosen race becuase they're [remember -- this
- was 1986!] not getting AIDS."
-
- [It should be noted that in 1993, *EVERYONE* is at risk of infection!]
-
- Dannemeyer said nothing for the remaining two hours.
-
- (and I laughed for days!)
