16. Believe me, I'm not disposed to be easy on her for any reason.

I did comment on another thread that she used her attendance at a funeral as a campaign stop, attempting to manipulate groups she wants voting for her. Whatta gal! NOT.

I only knew one person who died from AIDS - he was a travel agent we used in my job at an international relief agency. No one spoke about it openly once he got sick. He just had "good days" and "bad days" and finally died. It was hinted at that he was gay- he mentioned to me he was in a "chorus." When the AIDS Quilt came to NYC I went to see if "Bill" was in it. He was, in a NYC Gay Men's Chorus panel.

Condolences to you on your uncle's death. This is a painful example of how prejudice hurts us all.
