One thing that really gets to me is when people say 'Oh, AIDS isn't that bad, it's good population control.' I then usually ask them if they would have the same view if someone close to them contracted AIDS. Would they simply tell their dying loved one that they are sorry she/he has AIDS, but there are simply too many people on this planet and her death is not really that much of a loss anyway? That usually gets them thinking.
So, what are we to do, with all this confusing and depressing...'stuff' (for lack of a better word)? It may not sound so wonderful, but I guess we should just plod on and hope it all gets more understandable and less depressing!
