real good guys and who are
the villains in this story?
In fact, human rights
commissions, religious
organizations, the United
Nations, and even American
congresspeople uniformly
agree that it is the military
in collusion with the
government who are
responsible for the human
rights violations in El
Salvador. And whatever
your ideological stance, this
is the central issue at stake.

connects money with blood."
So? Money is connected with
everything else in our
society, why not plasma?
Also, a community is made
up of individuals; some of
whom donate, some of whom
do not. The ones who do not
are not harmed by the
centers, and they receive the
benefits of the medicinal

AS FOR the donors, they

we want to risk another
Vietnam-type engagement
to defend the senseless
murders of innocent men,
women, and children?
The answers to such
questions seem obvious. Yet
people need to be informed
about what is happening
before these issues can be
addressed. We must,

We should do what we can
to increase the flow of information
to the public by
writing editors and
congresspeople, talking to
our family and friends, and
participating in
organizations that have
sprung up around the
country to avert further
disaster.
