I felt so awful with the response to World AIDS Day.
I posted a clip that got 4 pops and 2 blog entries (different blogs) each received 1 comment.
If people can't acknowledge this disease for ONE day, what hope is there?

Doesn't concern them till they get it
or
If I don't think / act about it, it will go away
or
plain old guilt because we feel helpless to help personally.
