Is there some reason you are unable to think these things through for yourself?

Pardon me, but I thought that copulation of some sort with an infected person caused the spread of AIDS. Now, it appears that poverty causes AIDS. Oh, wait a minute, maybe the author is saying that only poor people copulate. Or, maybe poor people have more time to copulate. "These institutions must be made accountable for their role in causing the worst health crisis in human history, which Africa now faces." Are these poor people at all responsible for their behavior, ie, who they copulate with? If these poor people had more money, do you suppose they would stop copulating and spreading AIDS? I doubt it!
