Just to note, the rubbish we get in the west, is not the real vodka. My

I find it extremely interesting that whenever there is a question of
FUNDING for AIDS research, anybody who opposes the cost figure is
an 'anti-gay bigot'...but any OTHER time, AIDS is *not* a gay disease.
Either AIDS is a gay diseas, or it's not.
