You bet--and it's a symptom of how vile the global response to poverty
and disease is in general. It's despicable....we have HUNDREDS of
BILLIONS to spend on a lie, on war, death, mayhem, destruction,
executed horribly incompetently by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice....
But you distort again. That list reflects "The figures reveal that
more than four million children die before they are one month old,
largely because of problems at birth." HIV infected kids will be more
likely to die after the first month and before the age of five.
Regardless, the numbers are horrifying.
And they reflect that HIV exists, causes AIDS and kills.
Needlessly. Treatments are available.
But corrupt transnational corporate interests that push water
privatization schemes or consider that intellectual property rights
trump human life continue to destroy the children and their families.
What will you do about it Mark? I know. Film some more people XXXXing
without condoms.
