More people die in car wrecks in a week, if not a day, than died on 9/11 last year. But people don't talk about fearing cars, or driving - they talk about fearing terrorists, airplanes, and anthrax.

I'm a bit cranky about how AIDS seems to be portrayed as the Big Bad Bogeyman in popular media, which of course makes ordinary people who don't want to have to think too hard afraid. No, wait, I'm being way too cynical here. :P Sorry. *hugs*
