8/1     Does anyone here participate in FightAIDS@Home?  I've been running it
        for about a year.  But its web page never changes except the timestamp,
        and my mail to support@fightaidsathome.org always bounces back.  Is the
        project real?
        \_ AIDS KILLS FAGS DEAD!!11!!!! --Fred Phelps
           \_ But it kills others too.
                \_ Collateral damage
                   \_ Heh.  When/if an effective HIV vaccine becomes available,
                      you can bet your bottom dollar the Christian Right will
                      opppose it.
                      \_ I have a hidden wish that all creationists who want
                         the state to teach it to children are struck by a
                         drug-resistent bacterial infection.
                         \_ It's God's will whether an antibiotic be found to
                            save the children.
                         \_ Why hidden?!
                      \_ I consider myself a Christian conservative and do not
                         oppose an HIV vaccine.  It could do wonders in Africa.

                         \_ But they only get AIDS when they commit adultery!
                            \_ Or get raped.  Go away troll. -emarkp
                               \_ Raped? That doesn't stop the abortion crowd.
                                  Anyway she was asking for it. Women should
                                  be completely covered outside and be
                                  accompanied by a male at all times. Go ahead
                                  and fight AIDS, it's merely the warning!
                                  \_ The trolls are really dumb today.  You
                                     must be more subtle in your baiting,
                                     Daniel-san.
                                  \_ You are aware that in Africa it's a widely
                                     held belief that having sex with a virgin
                                     will cure you of AIDS?  And that children
                                     are being raped because of this?
                                     \_ I take it back, I guess people ARE
                                        dense enough to fall for this
                                        trollbait. +1 for the troll.

4/17    Just a thought.  Say we select a small percentagle of the population
        (e.g. 100000 people) with representations from all walks of life
        (scientists, engineers, doctors, chefs, plumbers, nannies, ...) except
        bad guys, transport them to a distant earth-like planet with abundant
        natural resources, and take away all man-made objects (machines,
        clothes, books, medicines, all tools, ...)  How long will it take for

4/22    Costco is selling "Bluetooth Capable Premium Digital Hearing Aids" for
        $1999.99 a pair.  My Bluetooth cell phone headset is maybe $30 for one
        ear.  Why does hearing aid cost so much?
        \_ Medical insurance?
        \_ Does $2000-your medical deductible = $30?
           \_ How come insurance companies allow such rip-offs?

1/15    Now that Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze are sick with
        pancreatic cancer, is pancreatic cancer going to become
        a cause celebre and get lots of research funding,
        far beyond what is actually justified by the magnitude
        of the actual problem?

10/14   I don't understand this whole AIDS walk BS. Instead of saying
        "I'm going to walk X miles, can you donate $1 per mile?" why
        don't they just simplify it and say "Give me whatever $ you got"?
        Why make it so complex? Sheesh
        \_ Because charity events get more people involved in asking for
           money.  Duh.  -tom
