FL, evidence for AIDS being sexually promoted in Africa = Moslems have very low levels in Nigeria. They have very strict sex rules, with stoning to death being a consequence for breaking the rules.

3 years ago, a doctor I know who worked for decades in South Africa told me of the terrible infection rates [which at the time was news to me]. Those rates have subsequently been confirmed. He said it's due to sexual activity with multiple partners, exacerbated by high rates of genital lesions, which give easy access for the virus to the bloodstream.

I'd never thought of the idea of microbes and humans acting in symbiotic destruction of competing DNA systems until a few days ago. The more I think about it, the more obvious it seems.

Those with DNA able to resist the disease or with the ability to earn the money to keep it at bay and the technology to do it move the competition to a new plane.

In that sense, biological warfare remains a major part of human life. Those who are resistant to a disease, use the microbe to kill off competing humans who are not. Kissing is an act of war!! I bet you haven't thought of that.

No wonder Asians tend to bow rather than kiss on the lips when meeting near-strangers.

Anthrax is trivial as a weapon. A new strain of murderous genocidal influenza or haemorraghic fever is likely to be the real thing to worry about. The enemy is living among us now, with their resistant DNA concealed from the rest of us. They are so cunning they don't even know they have it themselves. They can genuinely act innocent although they will kill those without the resistant DNA with the kiss of death.
