'AIDS DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE - DO YOU?'

This message, on behalf of one or other United Nations Department, suddenly flicked up on CNN this morning.

Of course, the disease, AIDS, does not discriminate in the sense that it has a mind of its own and has the capacity to make a choice on the basis of some prejudice. It is an absurd thought. No disease is capable of discriminating in that sense. AIDS, a physical process like pneumonia or cancer, is a sickness that arises out of certain empirically observable physical conditions.

The empirical evidence is that a man and a woman in a faithful monogamous relationship have nil chance of contracting AIDS from their sexual contact. The empirical evidence is that certain sexual behaviours are highly conducive to the flourishing of that disease. The PC class does not want to know about that because it undermines some of their choicest myths about people and society.

The PC mind has generated yet another slogan to shut people up who disagree with them, and to escape explaining themselves.
