[Vision2020] Kanay Mubita

[J Ford]

Isn't it possible that he won't live to see the end of either the short or 
long term of his sentence?  He has AIDS....who knows at what stage he is in 
and what his true health status is.  My hope is that he lives long enough to 
understand just how wrong he was in doing what he did but also helps to get 
the message out of what people need to do to stay safe in light of this 
illness - safe sex! at any cost.

Just my 2cents worth.
