Tony Moschetti (''Hasn't the paper run enough stories on AIDS?,'' letter, Dec. 17), has certainly opened my eyes to how simple AIDS and AIDS-related death can be. Could we persuade Moschetti to share his thoughts about sickle cell anemia?

Hasn't the paper run enough stories on AIDS?
The News & Record, in an attempt to maintain its politically correct posture, has trotted out another of the almost daily articles on AIDS. This one was headlined, ''Aids toll: Quilt passes, collects another panel.''
I'm sick and tired of reading about AIDS marches, AIDS quilts and the AIDS toll. Why not the syphilis toll? How about a herpes quilt? And why not a gonorrhea march? Why? Because AIDS is a politically correct behaviorally transmitted disease while the others are simply behaviorally transmitted diseases.
How smart does one need to be to understand just how simple it is to avoid having one's name on an AIDS quilt? For those who don't know, just send me a self-addressed, stamped envelope and I'll tell you a few foolproof methods.
We have this relatively small group who continue to play Russian roulette and then are surprised when there is a bullet in the chamber. Do we have a Triad Health Project for those who smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, then die of lung cancer? Of course not.
AIDS is not random. One has to do certain things to contract AIDS. Most of those actions are aberrant behavior. Just stop it and you won't contract AIDS.
What can be more simple than that?
We need to get the politics out of the AIDS debate. No other killer disease can be so easily eradicated from society as can AIDS. The gutless politicians have to stand up to the powerful gay lobbies who pay millions to keep this disease political.

Perfect batting record maintained by Yardley
Who says no one is perfect? Rosemary Yardley's perfectly moronic column on Rush Limbaugh (Oct. 26) keeps her perfect record intact. This was the 252nd consecutive time she has been wrong in 252 attempts. Is that not perfection?
She tells us that Rush is irrelevant because he is primarily an entertainer.
Yet who is more entertaining than our former president Hillary Rodham and her faithless companion Slick? The voters certainly took them seriously on Election Night despite the fact that they mostly just entertain us.
As for relevance, a national phone poll of 1,000 voters on Election Night asked 21 questions, one of which was, ''Who do you think has been more straightforward in discussing issues of the election, Rush Limbaugh and talk radio (34.3 percent), national media (26.9 percent)?'' So who is more relevant as to how we receive information?
Another of the poll questions was, ''Do you consider yourself to be liberal
(16.4 percent), moderate (33.4 percent), or conservative (43.5 percent)?''
That would appear to show that the so-called mainstream media with its decidedly liberal slant is anything but mainstream.
I'd like to say goodbye to Slick and the Mrs., Jocelyn, Algore, Georgie boy Stefanflopoloser, Rosty (see you in court), the Speaker (should have been the listener), and of course, Mario Cumo, as the Rev. Jesse Jerkson calls him.
Finally, goodbye to ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and the big city newspapers. We'll miss you if only for your entertainment value.
Rush is not only right, he is correct.

Sexton is not a racist
I think that it's about time that Deena Hayes (letter, Aug. 23) and the members of her dynamic new civil rights group give it a rest. These folks, plus Skip Alston and Earl Jones, act as if ignorance were a virtue regarding their unending trashing of Karen Sexton.
What is laughable is Jones calling Sexton a racist. Here is a man who gives the key to the city to Louis Farrakhan. Contrast that to Sexton, who has spent much of her free time working with children in the black community trying to make their lives a little better.
What is even more distressing is the apparent paranoia on the part of some in the black community. Rather than looking to solve the many problems in that community, such as the skyrocketing illegitimacy, crime and school dropout rates, they instead prefer to continue to use the racism scapegoat.
Does racism exist in our society? Of course.
Is it the reason for every problem in the black community? Not hardly.
Yet I have read letter after letter from black people who know nothing about Sexton calling her a racist when every bit of her life is a total contradiction of that point. These same folks then praise Jones.
Let's compare the records of the two and then determine who is a racist. The problem with too many black people is that they continue to want to look backward rather than forward.

Rx for illegitimacy: Responsible actions
Regarding Rosemary Yardley's laughable column concerning the epidemic of illegitimacy, I must wonder whether her lobotomy was federally funded. She wrote that the first method of preventing illegitimate births should be by the federal funding of abortions for poor women.
The first method of preventing illegitimate births is by teaching individual responsibility at an early age, not by acting as if young people are animals who cannot control their own actions. This method is foolproof, effective and easy to learn while no innocent life is snuffed out. The next most effective method is birth control. Works almost as well as method number one and again, kills no one.
To actually believe that additional children for welfare mothers cost $ 34 a month is sheer idiocy. Surely you must have some idea of what it cost to have a child these days, including all prenatal care, doctor's visits, the birth itself, education for 12 years, housing (remember the recent case of the single mother on welfare demanding a four-bedroom house at our expense to house her litter), food, clothing. I assume these are all included in that $ 34.
Let us not demand federal funding to close the barn door after the horse is gone, but let us demand federal funding for Norplant for welfare mothers after the first illegitimate child. This is very effective, and reversible. When the mother moves from the welfare rolls, and can support her children, remove the implant. No, you don't have to force people; simply give them a choice.
