Dale, what about the people who were infected with Aids from tainted blood transfusions? Many of those have occurred, and are innocent victims of this disease, and transmitted it unknowingly.

Yep, but they are a small percentage and, to be completely cold, a one-time shot. That vector is done. The stats I could grab on the web, admittedly pretty old, all had the homosexual contact infection at about 50% and IV drug use at about 25%. Of course, the UN group just admitted that its stats were inflated and needed adjusting down, so I don't know which numbers to trust.
What I
do know is that the much-ballyhooed "hetero AIDS outbreak" never happened.
Because there's really only two ways to get it now, and most people are hetero and most people don't use IV drugs.

Bigfella, you said, "Personally I'd have people like Huckabee isolated. They kill a lot more people than any AIDS patient ever could." I disagree. One of the #1 killers is heart disease, so what do we do, inform society to lay off of Big Mac hamburgers? Ban greasy fast food restaurants? That aint gona happen. Everyone knows things are bad for you but people will do it anyway, because they like it. Stopping people from having casual sex won't happen either.

Actually, what you describe WILL happen in liberal areas. NYC just banned trans-fats, or tried, for instance. Liberals will always try to control your life to fit what they think is correct, only instead of using morals they use laws. Trust me - if liberals someday decide that homosexuality ain't cool anymore, half of San Francisco will be nailed to telephone poles in a month.
Liberals are scary.
