Who are you to judge others? This gives me quite a fit, Sometimes we know "Hey this or that person will be judged by the man upstairs or whoever our higher power seems to be at the time. Mine is Jesus Christ and God. But, to whomever you believe in PLEASE let them do the judging.

I look at the people out spreading aids and the HIV virus. I wonder how and why those people choose to do such things. Does a man get angry and say forget everything just because he is dying? Then goes and gets with everyone who will let him. Is the agenda he sets for himself to spread the disease or just to please himself? There are a lot of the spreading of both diseases going around. I think the person ought to be judged in a court room. But once again Who are we to judge? Some of our laws are so messed up these days. Like a murderer goes free in 5-10 while the drug dealer gets life. You can go to the pharmacy and get medications, I mean heavy drugs on Medicaid like Valium for a buck, Percocets for 2 bucks and Vicodin for a buck for 60 of them. Yet we need Prilosec for our stomachs and it costs 4 bucks, then calcium costs me five. Why? But once again who are we to judge.

I think there are several reasons why the victim would spread his or her disease. Parts of dying or in stages. First we have denial, No the Doctors lying or he is not sure. Then there is anger, Surely it is not me. Why Why Why!. Then you start to bargain with the Higher power, again whoever this may be in your lives. Please don't take me I am not ready to go, Then acceptance while still hoping things will change. Somewhere in there comes confusion. Some may want to have sex with as many as they can before going. Others keep to themselves. While the others still find time to sit down and tell their peers or loved ones the truth. Giving them control over their destinies and life. Giving them time to make the decision to keep or ditch the other.

So while all of this is going on. The disease is constantly being spread daily. With all of the knowledge we have about it today I wonder why? Kids are learning at an early age about sex now. Why not Aids and HIV? Parents need to talk with their children before someone does and confuses them or they contract one of these horrible outbreaks. Frankly, the schools have been doing their parts with sex education. And some parents though afraid to talk to their children, wanted to dismiss sex talk out of the schools. Again, who are we to judge?

The pledge of allegiance,is what I grew up with. I gave me moral and values just saying it everyday. Now they take prayers out of the schools too. I mean, our forefathers had visions and dreams and until we as Americans get it together, we are going to have some pretty stupid, dumb children. But, once again who are we to judge others.

They say go vote and this time someone else will be picking the President after all of the votes, Come on!, but who are we to judge others? And what do we do besides? Are we to just let things be, create other laws or fight back? If not we will just keep hearing those words who are you to judge others? And this world will not be one day, we will be back at curfews, still being infected with others problems and asking ourselves, Who are we to Judge?
