Reminder - World AIDS Day


Today is December 1, World AIDS day. Let us remember those who have died from this dreadful disease, as well as those who are still living with it. Hopefully one day we will find a cure and be able to eradicate this awful disease from the planet.

To people who say AIDS is a punishment, answer me this: What did the young children who are suffering from HIV/AIDS do to deserve it? Really? People like that make me sick. People who try to say a vengeful god is punishing people for their lifestyle make me so made I can't even see straight. That, however, is another rant for another time.

In honor of World AIDS Day, please visit http://virtual-candle.org/index.php to light a virtual candle in remembrance. Wear a red ribbon. Talk to people about HIV/AIDS prevention, and above all, if you know someone with HIV/AIDS, give that person your time, love and support.

I didn't know about this until today. :(

But thank you for the reminder, nevertheless.
