Things have been tense and perhaps we haven't read the Parkinsn
Charter/Guidelines lately.

Take a deep breath, release the tension and take a break. Opinions are just
that. Agree to disagree. Parkinsn is not a debating venue. If you want to
debate go somewhere else.
The Parkinsn list is international, so remember that.
Sometimes we become unhappy with our shoes and complain when there are many
with no feet. I took a trip to Mexico, last fall, and saw a woman and a man
walking beside the highway. The man had a shuffling gait and his hands were
shaking as they walked. The poor walk regardless whether they have a
neurological condition or not because they don't have the money for
transportation. In most cases the poor are not even treated for neurological
disorders.
The purpose of the Parkinson's Information Exchange Network(PIEN) or
("Parkinsn List") is to provide a forum for people with an interest in
Parkinson's Disease to exchange information and experiences in a supportive
and positive environment. The discussion on the list varies from people
sharing their own experiences of orthodox and alternative treatments to
people discussing the emotional and social aspects of Parkinson's.
Subscribers are free to discuss ideas, but disparaging remarks directed
toward those who adhere to different viewpoints are not acceptable. Keeping
the spirit of loving, caring and respecting one another in the forefront in
Parkinsn List discussions and the focus balanced with those ideals in mind
is an important goal.
Barbara and I don't necessarily read every post so if there is a problem,
bring it to my attention. Most of you exhibit great tolerance in keeping
with the spirit of giving and loving. We thank you all for participating in
the spirit of Parkinsn.
