A Cure For AIDS

Let's face it... billions of dollars a year are spent medical research. On the forefront of the research is cancer and AIDS. Less than 5 percent of cancer is genetic, it has mainly to do with lifestyle choices, so I am not going to touch on that right now because that needs its own blog. But AIDS is a different story. We know EXACTLY what causes it and how to prevent it- yet 33.2 million people were living with it in 2007... I'm sure that number has gone up. Generally people live 20 years (with medication) after initial HIV infection. Each medication in the AIDS cocktail cost between $200 and $2300 a month.

I don't really care how people spend their money, but this obviously isn't a cure. There IS a cure for AIDS, but humanitarians everywhere are going to have a shit-fit when I suggest it: Round them up and kill them. Sure, a slight few of those people are 'innocent'. They were born to an AIDS infested crack whore mother who got it when she was raped by her AIDS infested heroin using dealer. Maybe a nurse got it by sloppy blood handling (and perhaps it wasn't their sloppy handling). But in general, these people know how they got it and chose to live that way... and let's admit it, NOBODY is actually innocent.

But I may have gotten off my point: Medical research and medication is expensive, bullets are cheap.
