Dom Martin, I disagree with the above. Twenty years ago, a disease hit Tanzania that was called "slim." People used to make fun of the disease that affected just one region of the country. Medical professionals (including some Goan doctors) were scrambling to inform the public that this was a STD. The politicians showed apathy to the medical professionals and the public was allowed to live in ignorance. The disease was AIDS. Today, one million deaths later, 25% of the child bearing population in the country has the disease. This is because, IMHO, people were allowed to live in ignorance. In other African countries, the situation is worse. In S. Africa, the former Vice-President had unprotected sex with a HIV+ person. He was convinced that if he washed himself after sex, he would not get the disease. The President of S. Africa, until recently, would publicly state that there is no proof that HIV causes AIDS. S. Africa is one of the worst AIDS hit countries in the world. This is why whenever someone comes out with a totally ignorant statement, I will object to it. There are people here who are ignorant in certian subjects and who might just believe an ignorant statement if it is not objected to.
