Subject: RE: BS: Death penalty for homosexuality?
Well that makes a bit more sense, Ake -- although a few words by way of introduction as to why we were going to Cuba would have been ..... rational.

The difference between Cuba and here (whether "here" means the US&A or the UK) is that they are a dictatorship, and we are not. This means two things: (1) we cannot impose the kind of quarrantine on chunks of our society that you would like to see. Which I think is the whole of what you want to say think and do about homosexuals. (2) we don't have the kind of closed borders that could keep further infected people from coming in.

So in short we cannot do what Cuba has been able to do -- it doesn't need to worry about civil rights because it's a dictatorship. We're not, so we do. That and it's the right thing to do but what does that matter to you?

What it all boils down to is that you want to place all homosexuals behind bars "for their own safety" (of course). Because of course we know there is no anal sex in prison.

O..O
