Thanks Mishu for the ref. I’ll check it out. My point on HIV is that conspiracy assertions aren’t too far fetched given the way civilians, soldiers, etc. have been guinea pigged in the past (this too is undeniable and documented).
& as for “b”, Obama made no greater or worse comparisons in his speech (as your friend posted). What I heard him do was validate both groups’ frustrations. Which is a Great start, in my opinion. Because both sides are valid. And we get nowhere if we don’t see that. That’s the type of dialogue Obama began and that we ought to have with others. We can’t stay in denial, and expect the problems to go away. NOTHING works like that. NOTHING.
