Yes, I have a thing called "work". Sometimes this crazy thing called
"work" stops me from speaking to ignorant people for awhile. Will
Christine ask me to read that book suggesting drinking lots of water will
not only cure AIDS, but also homosexuality? Will reading the Perth AIDS
Group's papers, (you know those SPECTRA quotes where a virus *wasn't
isolated* and they say this is how to do it! Or even the one about
"proof" it hasn't been isolated, but even in the Virology paper their are 
cross references to where it has?). Or maybe I should read Duesberg's book
again, especially the bit about all retroviruses are harmless - Hmmmm? 

I think you need to examine the other side of the arguement, forget that
nonsense about "your tax dollar" going to "minority groups" (ie your
personal feelings), and look at it objectively - I'm sure they taught you
that when you first studied dentistry.
