AIDS Conference -- Death And Life Pursuits

As we invest in the war machine and globalization efforts which destroy infrastructure and healthcare, and create poverty and desperation, more women and children will turn to prostitution to put bread in their mouths. As more countries fall under the weight of bombs, and as more environmental toxins are unleashed in the name of freedom and democracy, we shall see AIDS increase. The result of a culture of death is death. It cannot give birth to life or life-support systems. We are sacrificing our own healthcare, infrastructure and education as we sink our money, time and energy into destroying other nations’ life supports. Finding a cure for the death epidemic would mean stopping the globalization plan, ending poverty, changing the way we consume in the Western hemisphere and recognizing the equality and right to life of all human beings. If we embraced the root cause of the AIDS epidemic it would mean an end to oppression, exploitation of communities and seeking peace rather than war. So, you see, it really is no surprise that the current Canadian administration cannot embrace both death and life at the same time.
