I was sitting in Hartsfield Airport last Sunday watching CNN while waiting to board my plane. The story about the porn industry AIDS cases came on and they were interviewing a woman who had gotten out of the industry and become a doctor and was working with porn stars now to take precautions and be tested regularly. The interviewer asked her questions about how they were paid and she and he made the point about the risks these people take for a relatively small amount of money. The interviewer admitted to watching porn but not "watching very much." I laughed out loud at that one. The dimwit hausfrau sitting next to me said "Oh my God, I cannot believe we are watching this on CNN" with some indignation. I kept my mouth shut. Then the lady next time me made some sort of milder comment like "can you believe this is on the news?" Well, they tore open one of my Liberal wounds and my Liberal blood started a flowin'. First of all, I told the milder lady, I'm GLAD they are publicizing that PEOPLE GET AIDS FROM HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX. Then I informed her in a voice loud enough for dimwit hausfrau to hear that the US lags far behind other countries in it's availability of low cost treatments for AIDS patients. I closed by saying that nothing that I saw on the news really shocked me anymore. A guy with a ponytail who later asked for the vegetarian plate on the plane turned around and looked at me for a minute. Hmph. I hope dimwit hausfrau's husband, who she was on the phone with at one point, doesn't screw around on her. I think maybe people who have been denied the right to marry for so long might be able to show us what a commitment is all about. I, personally will never marry or be in a relationship again in my life. I look at it as something I've already done and am quite happy and fulfilled with the life I have now. People screw around. It's a major human flaw. Some people can resist it and some can't.
