perspective on the disproportionality of aids deaths consider this ten million people died in sub-saharan africa of aids over the course of only six years. that's fifteen times more aids casualties than in america's entire thirty two year history of the disease is hidden genocide as a result of pat monopolies by pharmaceutical companies such as glaxo smith kline and bristol mayer's squid that prevent cheaper generic alternatives of each of the medication from being created now big pharma argues that the industry has to keep these drugs at artificially high prices because research and development is risky and expensive one problem that argument is blatantly false according to medical publisher b.m.j. eighty four percent of worldwide funding for drug discovery comes from government and public sources which is a measly twelve percent about funding put up by the big pharmaceutical giants furthermore the average pharma company spends nineteen times more on marketing and basic research so while we've made enormous strides in the fight against this terrible disease we still have quite a long road ahead

secretary, late ron brown, and then i also accompanied president clinton on his historic trip to sub-saharan africa and of course when president mandela came to the united states seeking to raise funds to continue to fight apartheid and support his charities. the one thing, larry, that strikes me about president mandela is i have never known a man so comfortable in his convictions that he could invite his jailor to his inauguration, giving him a seat of recognition, and at the same time, recognize that the real true power of south african unity was going to be the acceptance by black and white south africans that this country had to come together peacefully and to put aside all the hatred, the bitterness of apartheid and the feeling by many black americans that everything that whites own should be turned over to black south africans. it was a task worthy of what i would call the greatest person this world has ever known to be able to show that forgiveness, that courage of conviction, and he kept that same conviction when he would come to the united states and scold american leaders and individuals
