Even though many generic perscriptions MAY be as effective as the brand name item, the ONLY reason they are pushed on the public is to save someone money. If the CEO of the of the organization saving that money is entitled to a Mercedes limo, and one day finds his chauffeur behind the wheel of a Hyundai sedan, which will save the company several thousand dollars, will he accept that? If not why NOT? It is a generic version of transportation, and will get him where he is going....... And when he needs to fly for business, would e be content to fly in coach, rather than first class? I wonder! Next subject: feeling guilty about slowing down, or needing to rest at work, or deciding to stop working. I have worked for others since I was 15 years old, part time, and full time, and I have never worked anywhere where there was not at least one able-bodied, healthy, non-handicapped person, who spent more time avoiding hard work, and even easy work, than trying to accomplish anything. Usually they have the attitude that they are smart and the hard workers and achievers are fools! Therefor, anyone who shows up and tries to do their best, should never feel the least bit guilty. Lastly: this may or may not be a proper forum for discussing politics, but if we elect candidates who have made it clear that they are against any technologies needed to cure Parkinsons, they are not going to suddenly change their minds after they are in office! Ken "In a serious mood" P.S. An example of the wonderful coorperate attitude: Firestone, after years of making defective tires which have caused a great many deaths and injuries, decided that, eventually, over a period of YEARS, and in limited areas, will replace the tires, when they feel like they have time to do so. Meanwhile, if a few hundred more vehicles flip over and more people are killed, or injured, they'll know they eventually could have had safe tires, had they lived long enough to receive them.........
