I'm ducking, yeah right. You have repeatedly made the statements in this
thread that those who have AIDS should have known better and deserve their fate
. Yet you neither acknowledge or deny my asertation of your stand.

Really, I'm ducking. Your response here is a response to my last post. Where
I stated that as most AIDS patients end up on social security disability and
Medicare/Medicaid. Who pays for that? Isn't it more fiscally responsible to
keep them working and off the SS/Medicare roles?

heartless.

everything on how it will effect his wallet.

hold/state is based on how it affects your wallet.
