   Well, just to illustrate how completely insane you are, the lifetime   
   medical costs of a *single* HIV patient in BC are estimated to be around   
   $400,000.  The cost of subsidizing a kid's hockey/ski season is (up to)   
   $500.  So, for the cost of one HIV patient, *800* kids can enjoy an   
   active healthy lifestyle.  Just one irresponsible druggie or homosexual   
   costs more than healthy activities for 800 kids.
