Wearing a tinfoil pyramid on one's head is the second best use for that shape. The best use is to protect the breast of a turkey the last half hour or so it cooks in the oven.
Jeremy, I have no problem with your list of facts. The problem is in the attempt to tie them together, to show they are somehow related, and that there was a plan behind their execution.
I can do the same with most any chronological listing of occurrences. It's kinda like playing The Seven Degrees of Conspiracy. One can link together almost any set of occurrences. The sticking point becomes the causality of the occurrences and the legitimacy of their true interrelationship coupled with the existence of a master plan.
Sometimes you have to deal with what is regardless of the circumstances of its genesis. That can be hard to do, especially if you require everything to have an explanation, or to have it somehow fit within an existing conformity of fact (or comfort level).
And what if it is true that it has been some major governmental conspiracy to infect gays? Doesn't change the fact that AIDS exists. Look at all the stuff the government has admitted to having done. And then look at their efforts to "fix" their mistakes. Not pretty.
And to mess with your mind a little, maybe part of the conspiracy is that the government wants people like you to spin their wheels debating the existence of the conspiracy. Keeps you occupied and prevents you focusing on the real issue--people are dying from AIDS and that needs to stop.
(I can't believe the number of times I had to type conspiracy here. I feel as if I have entered some bad episode of the X-Files, or is it Little House on the Prairie? I always seem to get the two mixed up.)
