| Personally I am no fan, I'm sorry he died, and I'm sorry he died in such a manner. However, I will not respect his actions. His policy of telling Africans, in the height of the Aids epidemic too not use contraception is one of the greatest displays of awful judgement in history, one which even on par with Mao Zedung’s disastrous economic policies, which also condemned millions to death. This man had the position and influence to save tens of millions of lives. However instead he chose the complete opposite route, and condemned instead of saved tens of millions.
I am sorry, but this man made a terrible mistake, and millions of people have paid for his mistake with a horrific natural holocaust which is worsening by the day, more over, one which could have been prevented.
Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.
Robert Owen
