I called the CDC today and asked them for the symptoms of AIDS. They told me that there is no such thing. Rather fully blown AIDS is a condition where there is
no immunity and opportunistic infections impose themselves so that what presentsare the symptoms of the opportunistic infections. This story has been given pro
minence by those who would like to impose the unsubstantiated allegation that
AIDS was always there.

Such a gadget is easily built - it uses a mercury switch attached to a
headpiece, such as sunglasses.  A nine volt battery, switch, and
Sonalert(tm) will do nicely.  Good scroungers probably have all the parts.

Do you seriously believe that Clinton was a distinguishable Democratic
candidate?  That *all* of the other Democratic candidates were so much
weaker than Clinton that they would've lost to Bush?  This is not an issue
of verification obviously, because it's hypothetical, but let's not use the
argument that it couldn't have happened merely because it can't be verified
due to circumstance.  Using any available yardstick that would hold up to
any form of scrutiny to "rate" candidates, tested by past performance of the
candidates, etc, or any other measurements, what is your method of
determining that Clinton is the only Bush-beating candidate.  I contend that
most of them were equal to the task; Clinton merely being the specific
beneficiary of a weak Republican campaign, and a Democratic-favored climate
due to overwhelming lack of confidence in Bush.  In short, virtually *any*
candidate presented by the Democrats would've won.

Moreover, IMO, the sameness of them is one of the reasons for the Perot
phenomenon, since many people apparently felt faced with no (for them) choice.

Visna is in fact close enough that it was immediately connected to HIV.
Part of the confusion is that visna is much closer to HIV than HTLV-I
and HTLV-II, the other human T-cell retroviruses, and much was made of
this in the early 80s.  (Recall that one of the early names for HIV was
HTLV-III.)

Visna is not close enough that anyone would know how to engineer it--or
even breed it--into HIV.  When SIV was discovered, it was noticed to be
very close to HIV-2, and sort of close to HIV-1.

Last night a local (Dallas) newscaster reported a story about the trial
of a prostitute convicted of murdering a few of her clients. The
reporter said, completely seriously, that the woman claims to have
been with 250,000 men in the course of her 20 year career.

Hmmm.... that works out to some 7300 days (neglecting leaps and holidays)
or some 34.25 men per day. Assuming 5 hours sleep per night, that's 1.8
men per hour, 19 hours per day, 365 days per year, for 20 years.

No wonder she was cranky. I heard it on the news, so it must be true.

like the healthy athlete the army would like as a soldier. He looked at him
an asked: "you're a programmer, aren't you?" "Yes, sir. I'm a programmer."
"Well," the officer said, "I can write programs too. I'm pretty good at it."
He produced a piece of paper and gave it to the puzzled fellow. "Here's one

I didn't say that Bush got a clear mandate either, so that's irrelevant.

If anything, the high vote for Perot is a clear mandate that many people
didn't want either of them, since normally third-party candidates get
only incidental vote percentages.

I would like some other election figures, if possible:

There was a record turnout of voters.  What is the percentage of voters
who previously elected Bush who stuck with him?  In other words, if you
strip out all voters who for whatever reason failed to vote 4 years ago, 
count them this time around (possibly adjusting for Perot either way, I'm
not sure how to apply that factor), what is the percentage that "switched
sides" in this election?

Nope. You could not get the HIV virus into the chromosomes of the dead and
