Dear Mervyn,

Let us make a deal.
As I do not understand much about Gold et other investment, I will NOT debate 
with you on the topic of financial investment.

As I am NOT sure if you know enough about whether or NOT these Rivona HIV+ve 
kids were adequately monitored and managed, I will not debate further with you 
on that topic either.

I'd suggest, however, that there usually is a serious difference between the TB 
contracted (and transmitted) by an HIV+ve person and that by a non-HIV+ve 
person. Though, in many parts of the world, India included, that difference is 
being blurred.

BTW: I notice that a BJP personality has chosen to abuse the Church with this 
HIV issue.

BRAVO !

jc
