Page 1 1 Introduction A Disease to Live With, a War to Leave Behind Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is one of a host of threats to our species. Toxicity is an everyday immune event, so close to home that fluids are fighting flesh inside our bodies. Future archaeologists will date baby boomers by the radioactive strontium in their bones. We have immune disease and autoimmune disease; we have homicide and suicide; we have drug war and drug addiction. We are being trained to accept wars against ourselves, wars that kill us but that we agree are in our own best interest. If justice and reason prevailed, we could control all this. We have the scientific understanding and the technology to stop war, pollution, and AIDS. But we ride down the old rutted paths, now sleek with advances in weapons technology, testifying to our good intentions all the way. At times we completely lose our sense of purpose, but we continue to maintain our stock of rationales, our alibis.
