Riliage –

Narcissism. Those who do not have the wear-with-all to reflect on what it is that they are saying and/or doing and how their actions may be harmful (or at the least stupid). It is not so much just one individual who receives the ire of Doug and Jonathan (although one individual does come to mind right away), but the overall sense in society that one need not be concerned with the feelings and approaches of others that gets them going.

This was recorded on World AIDS Day, reminding us that we need to continue to be aware of a disease that still hurts and destroys millions of people. We also need to be aware of the stigmas that are often attached with AIDS and how those stigmas add to the harm of such an awful disease.
