Jeet Heer takes my post about Eric Breindel and AIDS a step further, seeing a pattern in the likelihood that neocon icon Allan Bloom died of AIDS. Heer:
Breindel’s story is particularly poignant since he aligned himself
closely with the law-and-order wing of American politics, and was close
friends with many people who adamantly oppose drug legalization and
needle exchange programs….
The best weapon in the fight against AIDS is education. By acting as if
AIDS were something private, a scarlet letter burned on the flesh that
needs to be kept hidden, the neo-conservatives make the fight against
this disease even more difficult than it already is.
