HIV is something new, but it would be interesting to know what else in the story is new. Women have been forced, either by violence or by poverty into sexual slavery for - - well, as long as recorded history, so wouldn't that suggest for longer than that? Blaming the rapists and the exploiters rather than the victims is something new. AIDS doesn't care whether it infects victims or victimizers. It's just a virus, with the goal of survival, which it isn't doing very well because it kills its hosts, even though the way it does that is very clever. For a virus.

Hi Andreas, <<heat … Y2K … great deal of virtual money … empty shell … escape the clutch … long nails … kings of the Internet and about their fools.>> Well, yes, that was both dramatic and stealthy. On the current kings, people will learn the same lesson, and we get to watch them learn. Mathematically speaking, there is always another 90% drop possible, and sometimes, taken the wrong way, a 30% fall can be equally efficient at recycling virtual wealth into beer money. Chugs, Jay
