There may have been others but that's the first French movie I saw on that topic, in the US. I remember thinking at the time that the movie was a little too "in your face" and quite difficult to watch. But it was explained to me later that sometimes that's what it take for people to take notice. The idea has sunk in now, and I can agree with it to a degree.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, in <A HREF="http://vachequiritquipleure.blogspot.com/2008/12/word-aids-day.html" REL="nofollow">San Francisco ...</A><BR/><BR/>(By the way, here is a link on the movie if anyone is interested)<BR/><BR/>http://filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Les_nuits_fauves_rev.htmlTomate Farciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12102741033638005250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-92040437046545779532008-12-02T08:15:00.000+01:002008-12-02T08:15:00.000+01:00Wow - I just reread Lois' comment about USElaine's...Wow - I just reread Lois' comment about USElaine's comment - and then really read that -- very eloquent and true.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978433496142392475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-58567746087522280282008-12-02T08:11:00.000+01:002008-12-02T08:11:00.000+01:00I agree that there's a huge need for aids awarenes...I agree that there's a huge need for aids awareness and support for treatment. In countries where treatment is readily available, each generation that hasn't lost people seems to need to learn that it can affect them. In many places, treatment is too expensive or fear makes treatment unavailable. <BR/><BR/>I just saw an African Documentary all about the stigma and grief of a family who had just lost a second member to aids. Breaking taboos and speaking out -- at his funeral -- they said neither member had gotten treatment because no one wanted to acknowledge the disease.<BR/><BR/>Ignorance and fear can be killers - every little bit of support and openness counts, Eric.

I also like the person in the lower left corner -- gives your photo that human element.<BR/><BR/>Yes, AIDS is bad and so is CANCER. I lost an Aunt recently to breast cancer -- that's the pink ribbon. I was asking my Grand Aunt did they have breast cancer when she was young (she was born 1901)? She replied, "Yes, of course, we just didn't talk about it." OMG I couldn't believe it.<BR/><BR/>When I did album covers, once I was with a band member who was signed to the same record company as I was. This was about 1972 or '73. Anyway, a very handsome young man came over to our table and talked with us for a while and then left. The band member, turned to me and said, that is Cindy's baby's father and he is dying of a "Gay" disease aka Aids; but you are not to discuss it; he forbids it. OMG, I told her that if I were dying I would be screaming about it. She said, no, absolutely not -- do not discuss it. So he died in silence in a month or two.<BR/><BR/>I am so happy that people talk about these illnesses now. And, USElaine, you put your comment so eloquently. Very touching.

I'm glad of that. Bush is proud of his record of spending to provide drugs for African AIDS victims. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems he did well in that area. You know I'm not his fan, but I'm willing to give credit where it's due. Am I right?
