hi all

there has been a lot of concern expressed
about janet reno's 'fitness' for her
running for an elected position

underlying those concerns, it seems to me,
is a negative assumption that, due to her having parkinson's,
she might not be able to carry out her duties

there has also been some concern epxressed about
the quality of her medical care
and a desire expressed to have the full details
of her med regimen made public

the negative assumption is just that
none of us can foretell the future

her pd might take a turn for the worse
but it also might take a turn for the better

she might try a new antagonist and become symptom free

she also might be hit by a truck
or might develop flesh-eating disease
and disappear in front of our eyes

if we assume the worst
that's what we expect
that's what we look for
that's what we get

we do not have to assume the worst
we do not have to assume anything
it is our choice to think as we will

in re her medical privacy,
is this call for extreme detail
not contrary to the national disabilities act?

she apparently feels able and willing to serve

that very fact
is a great advertisement for PD awareness!
