Mr. X

Dear X:

Thanks for your good letter and for your continued support of our cause in the gay community. It is a sad commentary that the vocal activists on any issue invariably do their cause more harm than good. Broadminded people whom I know have no trouble with the concept of homosexuality, but they get totally turned off by the crass exhibitionism of the gay parades that the news media so delight in bringing to the public. Activists find their cause for living in their activism -- their claim to fame. Finding causes to hate and rail against is really hard work. Even though a cause were to disappear, the hate simply refocuses on past practice. A wife beater will be a wife beater even if that last beating was forty years ago.

Adolph Coors Foundation supported the Adolph Coors Medical Research Foundation to the tune of $2,000,000. The mission of this latter foundation was to develop a low-cost protocol for the management of AIDS such that the infected person could live a normal, productive life with HIV. That research would be on-going today if we hadn't lost the services and medical genius of our principal researcher, Dr. Rajko Medenica. The combination of photophoresis and electrical tissue stimulation was quite successful in lowering the viral load to acceptable levels and holding it there. The estimated annual cost of this protocol per patient was under $2,000. My personal contribution to this research effort was close to $400,000.

I take exception to any request to document all of the above, because it is too easy for the Doubting Thomases to claim fake. The records of both foundations are subject to public scrutiny, and my personal financial records are available to any inquiring reporter who shows me the courtesy of asking to see them.

Warm regards,

/s/ Bill
