I was offered a presciption for steroids in 1952. I went to the library and found out what they were and I told my doctor no. I knew all kinds of athletes who took them I don't think any one really benefitted from their use. George Park

    I didn't say any of the corporations were directly providing the drugs anad prostitutes(there is some evidence that some oil companies did encourage their workers to use drugs that were provided). But truly the process many corporations followed in Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and other African nations truly lead or facilitated the spread of HIV/AIDS. Many of the factory shanties were designed so that the men who came to work in the factories were unable to pruchase their necessary living needs outside of the corporation provided store. Many of these men, especially in South Afric and Nigeria, were not paid in currency but by vouchers they then had to exchange at company stores. In some South African shanty towns, these vouchers were then used to promote and underground economy. Frequently, the men who went to ork for internatinals were mislead into believing that the vouchers could be used to purchase necessary items for their families or sent to their families. However, they couldn't. Many of these men did use the money they made on prostitutes and drugs. Aquageek, your reasoning is very incorrect. You are assuming that US social structure is the same as that of other parts of the world. I read your social comments and wonder what yuor purpose is? Many of these factory shanties had large numbers of young men seperated from their families and normal social restraints. Having large numbers of young men seperated from their families almost always creates great social change.
