Rent the film "And the band played On" and watch it, Please! You are
talking about REAL PEOPLE here, Not numbers or statistics. How many of
YOUR loved ones have either died or are living with HIV? AIDS is a
monster that has taken away many of my loved ones and it isn't a cake
walk. We need more research and loving, caring individuals to ever
find a cure to be free of it's terror and you are not speaking with any
compassion that I can detect. Unfortunately, It is still one hell of a
fight since greedy beings PROFIT from such terrible things as AIDS -
But I still do what I can and am grateful there are those like
Elizabeth Taylor and Elton John (among others!) out there doing all
they can. First and formost, we need to get over the stigma or
prejudice this dis-ease carries. If you simply hate homosexuals and
assume this a "Gay Disease" (Which it is NOT) - then go to any Hospital
ward and volunteer, Hold a small Aids Baby in your arms and then tell
me what you feel. There is already too much hatred in this world
today, If you desire a Solution, You must BE the Solution, not
pontificate. Take someone's hand and be a good listener, Not a
preacher. Be a shoulder if one desires to weep - Offer YOUR
handkerchief, You can't catch AIDS from tears. Be a part of the
Solution, and it all begins with Love, Compassion, Respect and not
having to blow someone else's light out to make yours shine brighter.
There is room for us ALL in this world, And our time goes by fast
enough, Don't let Fear seduce you, Try a little Love, It helps! I'll
say a potent Prayer for You. Be Blessed!
May Love & Light be with You & Yours,
Jimmy
