Sorry if this has already been posted:

South African Health Minister says AIDS is "God's way of challenging us" and "a God-given opportunity".

I guess we should all just kneel down right now and offer a prayer of thanksgiving for AIDS, and for the gift of people who can interpret God's gifts so clearly for the rest of us, and take such definitive action to exploit the opportunities He provides.

One protest group called the Treatment Action Campaign on March 20 filed criminal complaints against the health minister and Trade and Industry Minister Alec Erwin, claiming they were responsible for the manslaughter of people who died from AIDS-related illnesses.

Well at least one group isn't buying the bullshit.

"AIDS need not be a crisis, and people living with HIV-AIDS need not die," she said.

I wonder what this statement means, especially when the afflicted aren't given the appropriate drugs needed to prolong life. Hmmmmm.....
