Many of the topics concerning Parkinson's Disease involve the public and political arena- in this respect the information provided by Ray, Maury and a handful of other folks has been invaluable and I hope they will continue to provide information here! Stem Cell research, the cost of prescription drugs, the health care debate- all are hot political topics that are relative to folks suffering from Parkinson's Disease-some impacted more than others as a result of socio-economic status. We purchase my mom's prescriptions from Canada because of the greedy US pharmaceutical lobby and their impact on cost...This is a political topic relative to Parkinson's. I am discouraged however when individuals here are unkind with their political and racist propaganda-their focus clearly is to badger and provoke- Quite honestly, they do not seem authentic and I wonder if they are even impacted by Parkinson's Disease. In this situation- Delete is the welcomed option.
