Many of the press articles we read on environmental issues are written by folks with little understanding of the technical issues. Many have a political agenda. A large portion believe everything that they read on the web.

Here is an example in principle. Mbeki

People will die because of this. Public interaction over these technical issues is important. Final decisions should be made by the public. But beware!!!

Best wishes,,

From the web page referenced:

"...the United States and other Western countries--which fear that the Third World's escalating AIDS crisis could destabilize global markets and world security..."

Is there any basis for this fear? "destabilize global markets"? I don't see the rationale here.
