Bruce, I agree and couldn't have said it better. If we don't help each other we're screwed. Nobody else gives a crap. So let them lock up a bunch of PWP's. Maybe it will promote our strive for a cure. Whatever it takes!

Horesfeathers!! Easy for those of you wealthy/lucky enough to have access to free drugs - but many don't. Of cause it is illegal - but so what, There are lots of things that are illegal, and there are lots of things worse than being illegal as well. This is my opinion on the matter, anyway. A rare opportunity to be able to do some real good for some needy people. As for the List.just put a posting saying. "I have about 100 25/100 generic sinement." That's all. Then anyone who needs it can respond personally to you. When you mail them do what I have done - put the pills in a plain white envelope n put that and some padding in a plain brown envelope and mail em with no return address. If you're really paranoid - wipe your fingerprints off of everything. You'll be doing a service. Those who don't approve, won't approve.
