I see a lot of typical hippie fear mongering against "the man."
Saying "AIDS was allowed to happen. It is a plague that need not have happened. It is a plague that could have been contained from the very beginning." Is just a terrible lie. With the beginning spread of the disease, no one knew about or understood it, including the man. It's like the whole "the government got everyone in the hood addicted to crack to keep the black populace under control" theory with less evidence, plausibility, or sense behind it. I mean in all seriousness if i were personally the man and i did hate and even for whatever reason wanted to eliminate gays, i'd want to curtail the spread of AIDs at any cost as it obviously cuts into the population which is how i draw my "power" according to the "logic" that dictates these scenarios of super powerful faceless person(s) controlling the world. So either this man, who or whatever body of persons he may be, is incredibly stupid while somehow keeping the entire world in the dark and under his control, or the author is grinding that axe pretty hard.
I think I'll go with the more likely option.
