Religion fitted the bill. Then nuclear Armaggedom. Now diseases scares. The masses need to be kept it their tip toes.

Maurice is mostly rational, but has some big gaps (or maybe he's just pretending). He is capable of saying quite ridiculous things to defend some misguided position that he's committed himself to. My advice to Elmat: find a virgin to have sex with (the younger the better), that apparently protects you from AIDS.

C2, my ideas from way back in 1983 matched the outcomes. When predictions and the causes match the reality which arrives, it's confirmation of a theory being correct. < Even Mq, who is eminently rational, seems to be harboring some strange ideas.> Name one. I'll explain what you are misunderstanding [and give a discount on my normal explanation fee]. So far, my CO2 climate predictions are beating the so-called experts, as is my sun-spot predicting.

the war on AIDS is going far better than anyone dared hope. A decade ago, half of the people in several southern African countries were expected to die of AIDS. Now, the death rate is dropping. In 2005 the disease killed 2.1m people. In 2009, the most recent year for which data are available, the number was 1.8m. Some 5m lives have already been saved by drug treatment. In 33 of the worst-affected countries the rate of new infections is down by 25% or more from its peak. Thirty years of a disease The end of AIDS? Thirty years on, it looks as though the plague can now be beaten, if the world has the will to do so economist.com
