has AIDS

and that 10 years ago the life expectancy in that country
was 62

and now the life expectancy is 37

very, VERY scary.......so next time ANYONE tells you we spend too much on AIDS research and not enough on "fill in the blank"......make sure they know that AIDS is devastating whole countries...........

it is not just a gay issue, it is not just an American issue.....it IS a world pissue.

That's absolutely terrifying, what an awful figure.

And think how many people still refuse to see it as a serious issue. Yes, Mr. Ratzinger, I'm talking to you. You too, Mr. Bush...

It's worst in Swaziland. Unfortunately, you have one of the only remaining full monarchy in the world. The king is a scum bag who kidnaps virgins every year and turn them into his wive. While his people are dying, he buys new fleet of mercedes and goes to Europe on his private jet.
