During the early years of the AIDS epidemic , , as a resident of Orange County , California , I recall several republican politicians who wanted to quarantine anyone with HIV on some island in US possession.Here in Canada , one of the least enlightened provincial premiers ( like a governor), wanted to do the same ; as in isolating victims on one of the islands off the coast of British Columbia. He denied access to AZT to anyone unable to afford it. It was ineffective on its own , of course , it was the only hope we had for the multitudes dying around us.In the beginning , there was NOTHING.You died.The premier’s reasoning was his belief that AIDS was a “self inflicted wound”.He remains a devout Catholic.

TOTALLY wrong. I can see WHY they want to do it, but that doesn’t make it right. People – microchipping people – ANYONE – that’s end-of-the-world sorta stuff!

Instead of that, they should use the money on distributing condoms and lube and education to those in need. Besides, how are they going to know who is having unsafe sex with who, just by tracking HIV + people?

Oh lord, how long until someone in the US suggests this be done to all “deviants” for “our own good”?
