Stingy !! the hell we are

In the course of a week .. some US$ 2 Billion have been collected to help the survivors of the Indian ocean earthquake/tsunami.

This is good .. thanks .. but the 150 thousand killed by this disaster are being killed every month in Africa !! would you please read this again .. AIDS kills 150 thousand people in Africa every month.

Because there is no spectacular 9 degrees tremors or a 10 meter high waves those people are dying quietly with no real time coverage from TV or fancy editorials on newspapers ..

The earthquake/tsunami victims are dead by an act of God .. this is our planet and we'll have to live with it .. but the AIDS victims are dying because of an act of man .. the drugs to control the spread of the virus and to extend the live span of the infected is there .. we have it .. with a similar US$ 2 billion we can treat million people for a year.
