And if someone wants to argue that HIV doesn't cause AIDS and that it's a mass government conspiracy, they can do the research and they can argue it all they want, FINE. But, but, BUT--enough doctors and professionals say that hiv DOES cause AIDS that it's irresponsible and reckless to spread the viewpoint that one should be out in the world having unprotected sex if one is HIV positive, especially if you're not disclosing your status. I don't view having unprotected, or "natural," sex as a God-given right, I view it as a privilege that you EARN by acting responsibly and engaging in safe (i.e. condomed) sex until you're in a monogomous relationship. To have an opinion that differs from the majority is fine, but don't put others in a potentially life-threatening situation. This is a matter where erring on the side of caution is the way to go.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15442902343936742742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-77549072814989059302007-07-05T11:28:00.000-07:002007-07-05T11:28:00.000-07:00I love that you get to keep all your books!

Th...Erik,<BR/><BR/>I think that you're being totally unfair. The AIDS Dissident guy wasn't irrelevant. After all, you wrote this whole play about AIDS and people catching/spreading AIDS, and living with it and how it's a problem and making people think about AIDS when they watch this play... and that guy was simply pointing out that some people want to defend the right of people with a deadly disease that is spread by having unprotected sex to have unprotected sex ("natural sex"). <BR/><BR/>Maybe you could add a character to your play who kills people everytime he shoots them and then he wants to defend his right to shoot people ("naturally shoot people"). Just make him Henry's brother or something.<BR/><BR/>You can figure out something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403949.post-45457750388907484692007-07-03T12:06:00.000-07:002007-07-03T12:06:00.000-07:00I love looking at other people's book shelves.

They're also part of a long list of books I've yet to read. Of course, I'd like to finish Sophie's Choice first! I've got about 150 pages to go.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry I didn't get to the reading last night! I was up until almost midnight but I finally finished the new draft. Good to hear it went well.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403932428529704506noreply@blogger.com
