Another Reason For Mandatory Registration

 

1. Please explain to me, in short English words of two syllables or less, how a registry would do a goddam bit of good. Infected people would not comply.  Anyone could get AIDS five minutes after testing negative. People who committed no crime would be punished.  The government would have enormous coercive powers.  And everyone can avoid the disease by keeping it in their pants OR demanding that long-term sex partners get tested.

   What’s your issue with AIDS?  You want relocation camps? Why not pay attention to Bird Flu or drug-resistant tuberculosis?

2. To avoid risk.

   For people who hire.
   For police.
   For health care people.

   Enough of the two syllable nonsense.  Most bird flus are treatable and contagions contained.  It’s been a long time since I heard of large numbers of people dying from TB.

   When flu breaks out people are warned and measures taken to contain it.

   No such thing for AIDS.  Flu and TB have outward signs.  HIV/AIDS does not for a long, long time.

   I will not be swayed.

3. You can’t reason a person out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

   Do you favor putting babies born with AIDS on the list?  How about 15 year-old-hemophiliacs? (so their high school experience will be fun?) Maybe they would earn an asterisk in your record book?

   *** IT’S OK! THEY DIDN’T GET AIDS VIA BUTT-FUCKING!***

   If you would not publicly humiliate these types, why not???  It’s just a public health issue, right?

   Or maybe you are just using Big Government to Fuck People You Don’t Like.
