*TWITCH*

I just read someone actually making the argument that AIDs was designed by nature to reduce the populations of the poor, the ignorant, and "undisciplined" human beings.

This person is arguing that because of this the US should not provide aid to countries suffering from AIDS epidemics, even now that it has been determined that a pair of cheap drugs can prevent HIV in newborns. This person is arguing that to do so will simply increase the population of poor, ignorant, and undisciplined in the world.

This sort of attitude makes me almost physically ill. Especially coming from someone who I have previously seen make mature, rational, well-intentioned arguments that I have agreed with more times than I have disagreed with.

*sighs, begins the process of logical debate with this normally rational individual, feeling very very tired*
