noticed that the AIDS conspiracy thing wasn't heated enough.Normally I
would be tired of talking about such a
emotionally chargedissue.  But I've been a good boy and provided a
source.  I must admitthat I was extremely skeptical until I read the
following...(for the record I'm not anti-gay.  Live and let live..you
know!)I'm quoting from DEPT OF DEFENSE APPRO
PRIATIONS FOR 1970Part 5SYNTHETIC BIOLOGICAL AGENTS"...within a period
of 5 to 10 years it wold be possible to produce asynthetic biological
agent, an agent that does not naturally exist andfor which no natural
immunity could have been acquired." "Wi
thin the 5 to 10 years, it would probably be possible to make a
newinfective microorganism which could differ in certain important
aspectsfrom any known disease-causing organisms.  Most important of
these is that it might be refractory to the immunol
ogical and therapeutic processesupon which we depend to maintain our
relative freedom from infectiousdisease.""...a research program to
explore the feasibility of tis could becompleted in approximately 6
years at a total cost of $10 million.""It is a
 highly controversial issue and there are many who believesuch
research should not be undertaken lest it lead to yetanother method of
massive killing of large populations."-----------------Sound like AIDS
to you?I only have one comment.  After lookin
g up the word 'refractory' in myhandy-dandy dictionary.  It appears
the most applicable definition isRESISTANT.  In other words they were
proposing a biologicalthat was resistant to normal immune system - not
one that necessarily attacked it.   But w
ho am I to say.  Maybe that was really it.Certainly AIDS is resistant
to the immune system.  It actually preyson it.Jim---------------------
