"Not That There's Anything Wrong With That!"

Jerry Seinfeld said this annoying phrase from time to time on his long-running sitcom. It always irked me.

Michael Savage tried to get the bathhouses in San Francisco shut down when he saw an epidemic developing (when they were calling it GIDS). From there we progressed to widespread AIDS all over the country, because it is just too much to ask people not to have anonymous 'raw-dog' sex with each other in public places.

The results of a new study have come out, and there is a much-faster test for HIV infection than the one that waits for your body to develop an immune response. It looks at the disease process before you have had time to develop antibodies. This gives the "MSM" fellows who are being tested a somewhat smaller window of time in which to infect each other in the bathroom at the airport (or wherever). The hope is, the HIV infection rate will be reduced.

You know how you can reduce the HIV infection rate? STOP BUGGERING EACH OTHER that's how.

********

And no, for the record, nobody has yet convinced me that the current thing they are calling HIV is the actual cause of AIDS. And no, I will not stop saying to stop buggering each other because it hurts your feelings. God said not to, and golly-gee-whiz if it doesn't turn out to be a dangerous thing to do (this story highlights only one among many reasons). Not that you will start doing what God wants because of it, but it does rather prove a point or two of mine.
