Well, as fir attacking someone who has the courage to stand up to the AMA, and Western African?AIDS PR crap, I would expect the same ol' cast of characters who are generally first to stand up and sing the company song...

I'm not saying there aren't AIDS cases in Africa but what I am saying is that it is very convient to look at a continent where lots of people are dieing of starvation and environmental issues and lay the blame on sexual behavior on that group of people. It may provide some temporary relef from the guilt and denial but it sure ain't part of the solution...

Now as fir the degrees, harpy, you even admit that those Social Work gard students weren't the sharpest knife in the drawer but since yer in "Bobert Buddies Column" I'll apologize fir the generization. BTW, my last "save the world" job was a Social Worker working in Adult Services in Richmond, Va. where for 8 years I worked primarilly with revolving door mental health folks and the elderly but I got into Social Work thru the back door using my 1st degree in Education to get a job as a GED teac her in the Richmond City Jail which got me a job in a drug rehab. program (Rubicon) which somehow qualified me to become a Social Worker. I worked with a lot of MSW's and have the utmost respect for them, not necessarily for their degreesm but fir their hearts... But enough about that... Please accept my aplogy fir the insensitive generalization about degrees....

But, being the Bobert, I reserve the right to make the same unfounded generalizations about degrees in the future and re-apologize if called to do so...

BTW, anyone wanting to pay $299 per degree, I got two of them ya' can buy. That'll be $598 + shipping and handling. I accept PayPal...
