*Whack!*  (Darn, missed...)

I agree with you.  What this tells me, though, is that the 
Great White Male (and Publically Straight) are going to 
become more open to supporting AIDS legislation, because they are
able to ride to a white princess' rescue.

It's sad that it takes a white woman's death to help out the 
AIDS medical feild, because they don't care about black women,
IV drug user's, and etc, etc, etc...

Makes one wonder what would happen if Helms got it...
