Yeah that's a good point. It's still sort of a viable "conspiracy theory" though. AIDS is now a problem in any community that has members who engage in unprotected (and/or promiscuous) sexual activity. Given the blatant lack of respect the government has given the gay community it's not unreasonable to think that they might've done that and just considered the gay community to be collateral damage.
I don't actually believe that the government did that, but it's not ENTIRELY illogical, IF one starts with the assumption that the government wants to eliminate all minorities.
As for 9/11, I'll question things to a certain extent but I'm not ready to say that the US government willingly murdered thousands of its constituents. Our government has done some messed up things in the past, but to say that as late as 2001 they were engaged in intentional killings of their own citizens is just TOO farfetched. Did 9/11 give Bush a fantastic excuse to accelerate his plan to invade Iraq? Absolutely. But I think that that was just coincidence which happened to go in Bush's favor. These things DO happen. It's not like the American government set up World War II to get themselves out of the great depression.
Everyone should question the government's actions. It's what makes a democracy work.
I agree with you about 9/11.
The US gov't didn't set up WW2 but it has come out that the Japanese codes were broken and Roosevelt knew about the coming Pearl harbor attack.
I was thinking this too. I think there is probably some cure somewhere that they haven't told us about. And those same pills that Magic Johnson has, how come those aren't available to the public?
Magic had HIV though. Not AIDS.
