Instead of an island, what about an old oil rig in, say, the Gulf of Mexico? As long as it's farther than 12 miles offshore, you're in international waters. You've got to worry about storms, but you can always buy insurance for that. Sure, it's far-fetched, but it would be a blast to build.
Actually, I have spent quite a lot of time researching it, and the only thing my researching convinced me of was that it IS possible the HIV isn't the cause the AIDS.
And yes, I'm quite sure that there are a number of very intelligent people working on this issue, but it's always possible that they're looking in the wrong place.
The only judgement I've made is that I'm not sure what causes the syndrome. And because I choose to swim against the tide, I must be insulting everyone, right?
As I said earlier, take a look at Duesburg's book. He raises some good issues.
Good point about the AZT. In fact, it was actually developed as an anti-cancer drug. It lowers your immune system so that chemotherapy can have a "better" affect. Gee... Somebody has HIV so the doc loads them up on a drug that lowers the immune system? IS ANYONE thinking?
Yeah, I know I'm going to take heat for this, but it's never been proven that HIV causes AIDS. Before you flame me, at least hear me out. When Robert Gallo made the announcement in 1983 that he had "discovered" the cause of the HIV virus, he was misleading everyone. In fact, his own research was shoddy, and many other experiments were being run to look elsewhere for the cause of AIDS. (The most promising being the Drug-AIDS hypothesis.) Of course, after Mr. Gallo (he doesn't deserve to be called a doctor) made the announce, he made millions by patenting the test to look for HIV antibodies in the blood. (If the lightbulb didn't go off over your head, stop reading now.) The HIV-AIDS theory doesn't hold water for a number of reasons, but the short answer is that it violates the Koch postulates. (The Koch postulates are three rules for proving that a microbe causes a disease.) But don't take my, or the media's word on it. Investigate it yourself. I'd suggest picking up "Inventing the AIDS Virus", but Dr. Peter Duesberg. Happy researching. (If you'd like to discuss this rationally, I'd welcome it.)
This guy, John Knuckleface, is constantly trying to cause problems for anybody other than John Knuckleface. His claims are never founded in truth, and his accusations are merely thinly veiled attempts to get his name in the press.
As a SysAdmin, I get paid to keep my systems running - period. I don't get paid to surf email. First, they'll want to check for porn. Then, they'll want to check if people are releasing company secrets. Eventually, they'll want to know everything that's going out in email. Damn Stalinists.

No way. Just give me a kayak, beer, camping equipment, and some warm weather. You'd never see me again.
