The fact that MOST people in the past voluntarily have subjected themselves
to the disease is due mostly to a lack of education rather than wishing
death upon themselves.  The people who are suffering from the symptoms
now could have contracted the disease up to seven years ago....how much
did you, the gov't and the country as a whjole know about the disease seven
years ago.  I believe the showing of the quilt is to bring about awareness
of the disease and not "exude honey" over tainted deaths like some morons
believe.  Ask the dentists patient who recently died if she thinks we ought
to let the disease run rampant, ask her husband who still has a chance of 
contracting the disease if he and his wife were immoral...ask them if they
think that since a minority thinks it is a disease that only affect immoral
people should it be allowed to kill thousands of people a year.....
 
 Give me a break and don't try to force your ignorant ideas on the masses.
 this disease has the potential of becoming another blkack plague and
 ignorance won't be bliss then!  Check the facts and you'll find that
 the disease has been on a dramatic rise ever since it was first discovered,
 and I don't think that attempts to make people more aware of the disease
 should have to deal with "well they deserved it" or "I don't want to 
 glorify those deaths."  Sheesh, and I thought there was such a thing as 
 compassion for your fellow man...guess I was sorely mistaken!
