25 photos that define the modern age (and AIDS story, too)

Some of these will turn your stomach, some will just make you puke into your own mouth.  Some are quite graphic.

Some of these explain why black people are pissed off even still. 

When I went to Jr. High (now called Middle School and 1 year of high school almost ) in Los Angeles from January of 1967 to April of 1970 my bestie  was black.  In fact, she was SO BLACK that if it was nighttime and she had her eyes and mouth closed, you couldn't FIND her.  She and I were Best Buds for the entire time I lived in SCA.  I wouldn't live there now for anything in this world, thank's to the moronic Gavin Newsom (whom I call Mr. 1/2 a brain).  He is destroying a perfectly lovely city and state.

Here's more from the anals of History (pun intended)!  A total bunch of "butt cracks" for sure. I remember all of this crap as plain as day mostly because in 1981 I FINALLY had my own apartment and my own tv (and a lovely boyfriend) and NONE OF IT MADE ANY SENSE to a farmgirl who saw weird sex between animals all the time, so why would it be any different with humans?  Never occurred to me that it was wrong for 2 men or 2 woman (not popular at that time in my area of the world) to be together, usually they were just friends, not lovers for God's sake.  Most SANE people never gave the whole thing much thought.  That was also, I believe, the same summer we had the Tylenol scare (does anyone but me remember that)??

I could have sworn I recently heard or read that AIDS was no longer a threat to anyone since the disease was kinda sorta "made up" to begin with.  I mean, I think people were dying from SOMETHING, but I don't think it had anything to do with AIDS the way they portrayed it.  I think it was something more elusive (like leukemia) or something.  Even at THAT time leukemia was not a well-known or well studied disease even though my Aunt Florence died from that same disease at age 3 back in the very early 1900's.
