Something's askew:

From today's NYT:

A look a human deaths from bird flu, by country, according to the World Health Organization: There have been 63 deaths worldwide since late 2003, the U.N. agency says.

--Vietnam: 41 deaths

--Thailand: 13 deaths

--Indonesia: 5 deaths

--Cambodia: 4 deaths


And the stats on AIDS: http://www.avert.org/worldstats.htm

So Bush wants to spend $7 billion on bird flu and cut funding for AIDS research (and please don't talk to him about condoms and safe-sex education).

Rrrr... This makes me FURIOUS! Granted, I'm a little biased, as I've had friends die of AIDS, and not of Bird Flu, but still... How about we cut the freaking DEFENSE budget instead, which is killing MORE people?!?!?!

I am livid...

Yeah, I took it from [livejournal.com profile] atabei who took it from the user who made it... Take it if you want, just credit the person I credited! :)
