I suppose that when it gets close to the State of the Union and other bigger "political" times, one tends to express their opinions. I would rather wait to hear the State of the Union and then express an opinion in brief form. More likely to share opinion with others in private email messages, instead of in such a forum as this. We would hope no one here would leave for these reasons. There is much to learn form each sharing their knowledge and opinions regarding PD and helping/caring for those with PD. THAT is the reason we signed on to this list, as well. Political stands come and go, but when one has PD, that stays. We NEED to help each other. Please do so.
