Guest, observer, you may think certain things are wrong, and live according to your beliefs as best you can. But it's both nasty and childishly stupid to propose these moral links to a disease. Medically, God likes lesbians better than gay men or heteros. Stop being a jackass. Grow up. Stop using other people's suffering and death as a handy occasion to kiss your own moral butt.

A lot of people like to view health and death as a report card, when it seems to suit them, but I happen to think it's morally wrong. Despite that there are causal links and risks in actions and diets and stuff, I think using that information to judge people in their misfortunes is sick, across the board. I don't sky-dive, but I don't get all puffed up about it when a sky-diver dies.

So, congratulations on your anniversary.

   When Mother Teresa's plane skidded into a crowd of well-wishers, a journalist asked her how she could explain it, how something like that could happen. She said it was probably a tie rod in the landing gear. I've met people who don't get that joke.
