Very true, and I doubt that sense of immortality experienced by
the young has been going on since man first stood upright.

This is exactly what happened to the organization I volunteered
with, Health Crisis Network. The result, in some ways, was probably
better for the public since the various local organizations merged into
one, and combined their resources.

They can be inter-related.

Besides, since when have the participants in this group stayed
on a one-prong thread?

Yes, but donations were not the point of the originating post that prompted
my response.

Understood, but my point is that my response addressed the specific
statement first expressed, i.e. everyone believed the aids epidemic was
history. That is inaccurate, and when considered in the context of the
original statement that Reagan was responsible, its outright false.
