You didn't answer the key point of my message. I moved away from the issue of STD's into disease in general. But, following what you did say, are you saying that communicable disease (or disease, in general, but I'm not limiting the discussion to STD's here) is a "natural and normal consequence" of some human behavior. If so, what?
