6500 a Day Die of AIDS in Africa.

Bono writes, "We are the 1st generation that really can do something about the kind of "stupid" poverty that sees children dying of hunger in a world of plenty or mothers dying for lack of a 20-cent drug that we take for granted. We have the science, we have the resources, what we don't seem to have is the will... Never before has this great country been so scrutinized, and never has the "idea" of America been under such attack... Whispering extremists attract recruits when hope has broken down. Surely, in nervous, dangerous times, it is smarter for America to make friends now of potential enemies than defend itself against them later." Bono you missed a major point. George won't give $1 to any group that encourages condoms or birth control. John Kerry will work with the Clinton Foundation and DATA.Org to

2. Thank you, Ronald Reagan
For laying the groundwork for basically wiping out half of Africa as well as the foundation for "compassionate conservatism"....right-wing religion uber alles.

Europe and America spent nearly US$17 billion on pet food last year as against the US$3.5 billion on AIDS.

Even more, while the world as a whole spends US$4.7 billion on AIDS each year, the United States alone spends US$8 billion on cosmetics with Europe about US$11 billion on ice cream.

5. As a long term survivor of AIDS who has benefited from access...
...to life saving prescription drugs, I feel devastated by the current holocaust in Africa. If it weren't for my Motion Picture insurance that pays for my $2,000 a month Fuzeon, I would be dying right now. And that doesn't count my other three anti-virals that cost a few more thousand a month.

As long as we live in a world that protects corporate profits over people's lives, there will be no peace on earth. Instead of subsidizing big pharma like GlaxoWelcome and Roche, why doesn't the UN invest in producing generic anti-virals that can keep most of these Africans alive? So what if the big pharma end up in the red! Aren't saving people's lives more important than protecting Wall Street investors? Answer: No
