It sounded Tike Good then Pyl Orne. You would not believe the mail not Only Are women cuddling up Wilh their Mcwinn sweepers but some of my male read ers have wonderful relationships with their household appliance. Take a look Newark the lady Wilh the vacuum cleaner rekindled a child Hood memory. When i was fueling sad i would take my favorite Blanket and curl up on top of the clothes dryer. Even today us a grown woman whenever the dryer is on i can t resist resting my Cheek against in for a few minutes when no one is looking. Greensboro . Mom used to work downtown during the Day and do the housework at night. The sound of the vacuum cleaner used to put me to sleep. Now whenever i hear a vacuum cleaner no matter where i am 1 gel so relaxed t nod right off . St. Louis when our baby was bom she cried Day and night. We did everything to gel her to go to sleep including putting her in the car and taking her for a Nde at j . Nothing worked. A Friend recommended the vacuum cleaner. The results were miraculous . Lockhaven a 1 have always had insomnia. No medication would Reader critical of sympathy Over aids dollars. Jacka. Bangkok used to work in a hotel Kitchen where the chef was a miserable tyrant. Whenever something went wrong he would yell his head olt. I Learned the Best Way to Block him out was to put on the blender. Hand. . Our teen age son died from leukaemia. In his last Days he asked that we keep the electric fan on him. He loved the soft humming and the warm Breeze. It was his Best companion. Memphis when i was a kid i used to love to dig a big Hole pour a lot of Waler in it and crawl in to get away fro the family fights. To this Day 1 am now 32 years old when i have problems thai Are bigger than i am i go tothe Back Yard after dark of course dig a Hole put the water Hose in it and work up a lot of mud. I crawl Inland within an hour i am like a new person. Noname dear readers would like to add a note of caution it is not Safe to keep electric fans or hair dryers on All night. A Short in the wire could cause a fire. For no name in the Rau holc mud spas have been very popular in Europe for centuries. Congratulations for creating one in your own Back Yard. You Don t have to travel and it s fret. Gem of the Day a sign hanging near the boss1 office lonesome like to meet new people need a change like excitement like a new Job just screw up one More time. I once heard that it is institutionally hazardous id sympathize with an unpopular cause. As a Conse Quence if i were to support a cause that shows a Lack of sympathy for the growing Herd of those who have contracted aids then i would be bumping my head against what Gay rights activists the Acle and other misguided organizations would Ike us to believe that the average person so afflicted is a while Anglo Saxon protestant who lives in a slightly mortgaged Home Wilh his 2.3 children. Aside from Hij White picket Fence he is clean Cut gives to Charity and his dog loves him. To Lake him on is to attack Apple pie and motherhood. Somehow i suspect that my popularity is in grave danger whal is More most of those who Volunteer opinions within earshot also appear to be courting the same unpopular cause. Is it just possible thai these organizations do not represent mainstream opinion the fact that undisciplined Gays and hard Core ,drug users Are the principle distributors and victims of this very serious and fast growing disease is supposed to arouse within me a sense of deep sympathy. I m even asked to hug them. Nonsense. We would t hesitate a minute to throw someone into the Slammer should he brandish a gun and fire at random into a crowd. Citizens might Lynch a person for dumping Poison into the City water Supply. My message is that there is Little if any difference Between these groups and our sympathy is undeserved and a serious mistake. One Only has lib see the effect upon the life of a Ohem Ophilia who contracted aids from tainted that presumably was to keep him alive. One Only has 10 Sec the babies born and abandoned Lopresti tubes who continue to sell themselves in order to main Tain their habit. This is a triple negative the baby is infected Wilh aids it u born Wilh a crack Habil anubis Mother is out there passing on the virus to another unsuspecting customer. Talk about earning our sympathy. And yet this is not the worst problem we will have to face but let me digress to some other absurdities before i take that on. Ii is difficult for me to understand however True that a Large segment of the american Public believes that throwing piles of Money Al a problem will quickly cause it to vanish. If that were the Case the slate listing All those Dis eases that can shaken have been targeting for years would have been wiped Dean of cancer is muscular dystrophy infant cab death Etc. Success has not always followed the Money much As we want it while of the subject of throwing Money i am equally amazed to hear that we Don t spend enough Money to educate our children and the Public of the growing danger of believe me the average kid from the second Grade on can Teji you exactly what causes aids and All variations of its transmission process. And the message of Taus is what we educate not the disaster that is probably waiting for us. Still ask a High school student to locale the . On a world map and you la Likely find his Finger Slid ing across Africa or Asia ask him to write a com plete sentence or add fractions and you might be equally disappointed. While the Cost of education is skyrocketing the Quality is at its Nadir. So much for big Bucks. But let me take on the big problem that is Seldom if Ever Given to the Public Tor its much needed Edu cation. For its implications it should shake us All. Let me Star the shaking process by saying that there is nol a single virus related disease that cannot or Ever has been cured and aids is a virus. Much As we would like it to. The curing has never happened. There arc a few recorded cases of Remis Sion of symptoms but a virus just can t be cured with pills or shots at this writing the outcome for aids patients is leak. A virus is common Only in its occurrence but its growth rate can be As rapid As the plague. In Wei two people died of influenza for every one who died of Battle wounds. I have Only to suggest that you reread the above and again ask yourself just How sympathetic we should be toward those who arc spreading aids in our society with Little care for the consequence. The world population a major Factor in breaking he Bonds of disease control is enormous today 85 percent of All the people who have Ever lived on Distant future. Science May yet Bai us out of his dilemma but Ordinary people Art overdue in asserting themselves and repairing the Lorn fabric four society. Politicians Are denaturing the problem by making celebrities out of the very people who Are spreading. The disease. We must quickly abandon the if enough people do something it should be socially acceptable. To quote my old Friend Pogo a c Liff met the enemy and his de steel a Crafe Zwahr.
