I had an acquaintance with HIV and I remember people not wanting to be around her because they were afraid to "catch" it. People are just stupid.

So I guess CowLip were going down that route of .. no matter how much you try educate people the stupid will still be an ignorant mess! Well, that certainly applied to Callie's "liberal, but in a George Bush way stupid" parents.

Gosh, I really can't tell you what it was like the first time I saw Ben stand up and call Hunter "our son" .. I was knee deep in tissues!

Oh, Callie's parents. There was a line in the show that was so true about them...

I had to go find this quote:

Callie ~ You practically called them a couple of fascist hatemongers. Do you know what that can do to two lifelong liberal Democrats?

That's the one!! And she says she will never forgive them!

But Ben was the absolute Superhero .. standing up to the closeted Republican parents .. that allowed Hunter to add his piece about how he was glad to have been at the meeting because now he could see where the school kids got their attitudes from.

That really hits hard. It's sad, but true.

The liberal parents were nothing of the kind .. but I just don't understand that America doesn't get what the rest of the world does about HIV/Aids in 2004/5?

I don't know how talking about an episode in QAF became a diss on America.

It isn't me personally hun .. I was just pointing out that if CowLip are writing this storyline in 2004/5 then they clearly don't believe that the US has really understood HIV/AIDS and they realise that there is still a lot of ignorance about the disease ..
