2008 HIV

People infected with HIV have more options than they had 20 years ago, however, the big insurance companies haven't expanded at all. Kaiser still declines applicants if they say that they are HIV positive. E Health Insurance declines you but gives you other options. It seems that the world doesn't want this epidemic under wraps, because if they did, the medications would be affordable and/or insurance would be given without question. You would think that if they knew someone who was infected with a virus that will affect a person's health, they would jump on it to stop it. Sadly, the world isn't as caring as it portrays.

It must be the white man's attempt to rid the world of "coloreds" or the straight man's attempt to rid the world of "fags". But what this closed minded humanity fails to realize is that a disease and a virus do not discriminate. They are equal opportunity. It saddens me to see that the movie John Q had no affect on America, but what do you expect to get from a bunch of drop outs and holy than thou people. It seems that people who are well off don't give two shits about people less fortunate than them, and people who are less fortunate seem to not care about anyone else but themselves. So where does that leave us in the middle? Where does that leave the people who actually care? Who actually want to try and save the world? Who actually want to move to Canada to get FREE health care, but can't cuz gas prices are 12 dollars a gallon?

If anything is to come to the next generation of humans, I pray that it's intelligence, tolerance, understanding, acceptance, and most of all chivalry. "If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die." ~Maya Angelou.
