Have nothing against 1913 - seems like humanity made it to 1914 which was quite a fun year -. Sweep to 2001:

o angloamerican Hqtrs estimate 18% of its office workforce is HIV-infected.
o 80% of pregnant women in SA is HIV-infected
o Transport enterprises in SA asking for simpler trucks (just gas and brakes) because they cant get enough trained/literate drivers to replenish.
o army trucks used for preservatives deliveries
o Mainland China has large AIDS spots due to plasma blood farming industry

The points from the mouth of my room colleague, who just returned from SA(working with WHO NIH etc on stemming the tide) Last point from SZ.

Let's get back to present.

<Anyway, what difference does it make? The important thing is what we face going forward. >

Exactly... comparing olden days to now makes little sense. I like to look at 'extremes' when comparing things:

Are we better off now than cave men?

Interesting side note on all the "advances" we've made that you listed... central planning and governments are responsible for much of the advances.
