“Get your government out of my marriage”

“Quote verse and line from Jeffereson or any of of our forefathers dealing with "Same Sex Marriage"

I bet you won't find one.”

“I'm going to try to clarify my statements as well as respond.

1) Yes, that's my point. It is a dangerous rationalization, but it that rationale that is helping cause the potentially low testing rates -- many people don't want to know. There are safety nets, but the majority is for very low income people. The programs don't reach enough of the populace; unless they're in place you won't see widespread enough testing. This is about social justice, not market justice -- there are solutions out there for individuals, but they need to be available for all citizens systematically.

2) Unfounded? The Tuskegee syphilis study is a pretty powerful and relatively recent example of the public health infrastructure wronging black citizens. There was suspicion in black communities that AIDS was a plague manufactured by whites as an attempt at genocide -- it was a major hurdle in University of Maryland public education attempts. There is plenty of reason to be distrustful and the DOH needs to work through that by making better and more open displays of cultural competency including further education.

3) There are some success stories, but the overall experience - as reported in this story - has been failure. An HIV positive rate higher than West Africa shows systematic failure in prevention, education, and treatment. My point was that the city DOH is not working effectively to combat the epidemic as evidenced by the current stats.”

“Excellent response!”

“hahaha, to use your logic:

the Health Care Reform Act is nothing more than a scheme to syphon off trillions and trillions of taxpayer dollars to Insurance companies. It's not a "reform of Health Care" it's a "government sponsored subsidization of a private company".”

“We can't risk some undisciplined prosecutor asking them who were their contacts in the CIA when they were recruited to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. When did they receive their last paycheck from the US government. Who was behind and planned 9-11. Then the potential loss of intelligence assets- like the kidnappers in Italy or our talented torturers who ran the secret prisons, like in Lithuania. What if some unpatriotic idiot asked who distributes the drug money to the insurgents. Better to continue torturing them until they die. The conservatives truly miss the good ole days when someone in the back would yell 'string them up' and our people could pack picnic baskets and spend Sunday's watching lynchings. Obama says that they will be convicted. A constitutional law professor and a lawyer that recognizes how justice works in this country. After all we got OJ didn't we?. China's leadership must have had a good laugh at Obama preaching human rights to them. Especially since the US is blocking the Gaza investigation reports. They should look forward and not back. Why waste time investigating our human rights violators, never know when they will be needed again. Israel building new settlements in Jerusalem, time to get tough with Iran..After all we are a nation or laws, Just don't piss off China or Russia, they do a lot of business with the Persians.”

“Women have a right to an abortion. They don't have a right to make me pay for it. That's what we keep going round and round about.”

“thank you”

“Well said.”

“dynamohum don't get your panties in a wad. You need to relax and learn to recognize sarcasim when you read it.”
