Deafening silence, again!!!

Silence=Death was the slogan inthe 80s and should be still. The Open Society published a report yesterday severely criticizing the US government for failing to address the AIDS epidemic in a serious way. Ideology trumps sound policy here too, and people die as a result.

What is all the more perplexing, I don't see a reference to the report anywhere but here, at the Southern Voice. Could it be that no one really cares? That is too frightening to think about and I have to wonder why. In the 80s, it was a gay disease. HIV is targeting African Americans more an more. Connection? Racism is not dead. Nor is HIV.
