We are told that governments exist to provide us with justice.<br />We are told that the cure for despair is hope but having existed in this world for for over half a century I have come to learn a greater truth about god and government that is far from the mystical and magical lessons we are taught in childhood.<br />Unfortunately many of us would rather continue to drink from the pap than take up a knife and fork and fill ourselves with reality.<br />I hope and pray all will go well for those in despair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830726522923860114.post-4882023709429241582007-12-10T00:05:00.000+01:002007-12-10T00:05:00.000+01:00My prognosis is that some will go and meet the gre...My prognosis is that some will go and meet the great lie half way, or a part of the way as a means to finding a solution to the mess.<BR/><BR/>My prognosis is that I will none of it because i don't care for such ideas.<BR/><BR/>The show is pathetic but given the general mingling of sleaze and niceness; which gives for a potent odor of mendacity all round, remains predictable one one hand, and profitable on the other.Manuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735551145549081599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830726522923860114.post-29947620547136340432007-12-03T06:49:00.000+01:002007-12-03T06:49:00.000+01:00Of course it is their identity.

It is the victim identity without which in todays world you seem to need to get ahead, and it has served well for all to get ahead at least politically and socially. It is, as i have said before, a very Faustian deal.<BR/><BR/>One can be gay and not take drugs and party, one can be gay and not even have sex anymore...but one cannot be gay and not bw head to HIV. If you do you will be stripped of your gayness by all those around you. <BR/><BR/>What are we?

The shock is so great. I wrote about the ribbon once, in NY Press. I want to find that piece and send it, because it contains the actual contents of the symbolism of the ribbon. They have actual sacraments, if that is the word. Need help from Catholics...they have three symbolic meanings of the RED of the RIBBON. I remember the first is blood. Let me see if I can find that essay. Also let's see if I have successfully signed on or if i get erased again...Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04108203573899543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830726522923860114.post-14341051114513311492007-12-02T20:00:00.000+01:002007-12-02T20:00:00.000+01:00probably hanging in the Louvre being passed over a...probably hanging in the Louvre being passed over as "art" I should imagine. <BR/><BR/>God know. <BR/><BR/>People love AIDS, the quilt, the ribbons, the fear, the death knell, the toxic drugs, the stars doing their pathetic bit, the horrendous AIDS films, adaptation and plays, the revolting speeches by those they trust on nothing except AIDS, the absurd theories of manufactured lab virus, the AIDS martyrs...etc etc etc.<BR/><BR/>People LOVE HIV People love AIDS.<BR/>Bottom line that is the problem here.

Clinton says; 50 Billion... Jesus F__kin Christmas. It doesn't get much worse than that.. that is, that money will go completely down the drain. Then there's all those supporters, the caregivers, saying how much we need more drugs. Then there's all those do gooders whom so wrongly believing that all those who died of AIDS was from the HIV virus without even for once questioning any of it.<BR/><BR/>Hey, but ya know what? - Where was the AIDS quilt?<BR/><BR/>CarterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830726522923860114.post-54320646300848890392007-12-02T16:53:00.000+01:002007-12-02T16:53:00.000+01:00Oh God, don't worry i am not going through that ag...Oh God, don't worry i am not going through that again.

It will be mercifully over with the next day. Just like any drug, the AIDS faithful will be experiencing the effects of coming down after their high.<BR/><BR/>World aids day certainly is the worst time to try and make any dissident inroads, or try and interject some logic and reason. Best to let them have their fun...enjoying their sick, twisted day of death, disease, denial and "concern" that they just can't get enough of.<BR/><BR/>You're right, Manu. They DO love AIDS! The faithful won't see it that way, but the truth is that they are in love with the paradigm. <BR/><BR/>And here we are. We hate AIDS. We want it to be gone and over with. It's an upside-down world. We're the ones who actually want it to end, unlike the lefty celebrities and braying herds of gay men. We want the suffering to be over with. We're tired of it. <BR/><BR/>The rest are addicted to the whole thing. Addicted to the suffering, the victim mentality, the sheer drama of it all.<BR/><BR/>World aids day is their day to reinforce their faith, lest it diminish. Let them have it. But for your own sanity, I suggest finding something completely different to do next year.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962901127751478471noreply@blogger.com
