Genocide by any other name......

South African Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang has once again stretched out her claws, this time denying TAC (South African HIV campaign group - Treatment Action Campaign) access to the UN Discussion on HIV/AIDS.

It is estimated that between 5 & 6 million people are infected with HIV/AIDS in Africa.

Her problem?

TAC advocate & compaign for the provision of free retro-viral drugs to combat the pandemic.

The health minister (strongly supported by President Thabo_Mbeki) believes that vitamins are more beneficial and suggests that those with AIDS should eat more lemons, beetroot & garlic.

There are a number of reasons for the pandemic, amongst them resistance to the use of condoms. The Catholic church has had a significant role in this (no surprises there) - as they promote abstinence rather than being realistic about disease control.

Australian Health Minister Tony Abbott & Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang should form a health ministers alliance 'Drachonian Catholic Dumbass's'.

Is it possible that the Catholic Church is racist?

Just a thought.

Racist, sexist, power-hungry, unrealistic, archaic, money-pinching (laundering), control freaks, misogynistic devils.

If you have never been a father Father then how would you know how a mother mother's a child?
Unspeakably disgusting.
