Cheney: HIV/AIDS hurts business
Our VP tonight said that AIDS was a problem because it had killed so many that there is, quote,

"nobody to do the basic work that runs an economy."

Does Mary have to get AIDS before Mr. Cheney sees the human side of AIDS?

1. Who is gonna pick Massa's cotton if everyone has AIDS?
Perfectly typical of the American ruling elite to worry about how it affects "The Economy". It is pretty clear to me that the phrase "The Economy" pretty much refers to how much leverage the rich investors have over us proles.

3. Wrote a few LTTE about it n/t
During the Vice Presidential debate last night, Dick Cheney sidestepped a question about young black women and AIDS in America by lamentin that AIDS was a terrible problem in Africa because it had killed so many that there is, "nobody to do the basic work that runs an economy."

Does Mary Cheney have to get AIDS before Mr. Cheney sees the human side of AIDS? Or will the problem have to wait until it drastically starts affecting our economy?
