Cure for AIDS?

Not sure why this story hasn't gotten bigger play this week, but we just found it: a Brigham Young University Professor may be on the right track to killing the AIDS/HIV virus. 

Now, the last time BYU produced headlines from its science departments it was in verifying a cold fusion process which quickly turned into a hoax.

Actually, a little more quietly, there is a BYU physicist who is leading the charge in contending that the World Trade Center collapsed under prepositioned explosives on 9/11.

Yeah, when your religion is based on the theory that America was inhabited by BC-era Jews, your congregation comes equipped with premade tinfoil hats.

Nevertheless, we are cautiously optimistic about these developments.  We would also appreciate the irony; many Mormons in leadership positions in the mid-1980's preached that the AIDS epidemic was god's cleansing hand.  That brand of hateful faith soon fell out of favor when hemophiliac children started contracting the virus.  A cure for AIDS just might make amends for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' vicious anti-gay history.  Even Mormons can be redeemed.
