I'd pay a dollar on an airline ticket to help end the misery and death cause by HIV.

Why not donate those dollars directly to HIV/AIDS relief directly?

Good Call.

Why not $2 instead of 1?

Exactly.

Raise $10 billion a year to go through the UN, maybe 3 billion of it at most would actually get where it's supposed to go.

I guess some of my resentment comes about when you look at the US contribution to fighting AIDS vs. just about any other country in the world.

[Duff McCartney]

I'm all for it...I think it's a good idea.

Anyone who contributes a single cent to a UN-sponsored agency is an idiot.

You want to contribute? Go directly to the groups doing the work. Leave the criminals out of it.
