That's beautiful. Also prompted me to do a little google search about people immune to the HIV virus, at which point I ran into the following:Originally Posted by Dark Dragon

Basically, about .5% of people infected with HIV have a gene (HLA B57) that produces high numbers of T-cells that actually kill the HIV virus including any mutating form of it. Once a killer T-cell binds to an HIV virus, it becomes activated and sweeps the body for more HIV. Almost everyone has these T-cells in their body but they exist in low concentrations for those who do not have that HLA B57 gene. This means that research in creating a vaccine designed to activate these T-cells is very promising. I think things might be looking up in the fight against HIV-AIDS.

"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."
