Do you still feel compassion for those same people when they accuse you of not working to prevent their infection, have public marches in our biggest cities proclaiming this, infer that this indifference is part of a conspiracy to destroy them, and then STILL insist on their right to CONTINUE in their promiscuous behavior, all the while demanding that YOU foot the exorbitant medical bill for their life-long treatment?
This article is talking about Texas, a developed, educated society in which AIDS awareness is extant in public discussion. The article is written for the Advocate, a pro-gay, activist rag.

No. Just because I have compassion for people who contract AIDS doesn't mean I am under any illusions that I OWE THEM ANYTHING.
People who get themselves into bad situations because of their own poor choices in life have only themselves to blame.
But it STILL doesn't do my heart any good to see people suffer for their mistakes,
ESPECIALLY since I am SO dependent on God's mercy to rescue me from my own foolish choices in life.
