Bravo Dee! Frank, I believe you are adding fuel to the so-called fire you are accusing others of setting. Everyone involved with PD needs and wants guidance, information, support - and, yes, hope. We also need to take action to ensure the best outcome for PWPs and their caregivers - which means analzying and critiquing the scientific and political world out there. And, of course, it is predictable that our views will differ on some issues. What we don't need are repititious lectures on how to conduct ourselves. You may not agree with some of the views expressed here, but don't insist that we lock ourselves in a box and censor one another. Instead, let's move on - with more tolerance for the thoughts and concerns of others. There is alot to be done!
