If it was really a missile, it was very well disguised and fooled him completely. I guess he could have been mistaken.

Now, back to health care (or the lack thereof) . . .

They die from the complications of otherwise minor (relatively speaking) conditions exacerbated by the inability of the body to fight off these conditions. So that the cause of death is actually from flu, infection, pneumonia, etc. I'm sure that people have been dying from these causes for ages with the underlying factor being AIDS but science wasn't advanced enough at the time to isolate and recognize this as an individual condition in and of itself as it is now.

Sorry again. Back to the topic at hand . . . (I'm gonna shut up now.)


'sigh. I'm so disappointed in you, LadyBlue.

Why on earth would you let facts get in the way of what you can find on the internet???
