Dear all, There is a chance that i may get my "15 minutes of fame"--and if so, i will have my Parkinson's to thank. To make a long story short, i am a finalest in a contest to appear on the cable show "Politically Incorrect". I had to write about, then shoot a video of, a topic i really feel strongly about. What was my subject? I have posted it below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I'm Jeffrey Romanyshyn. I'm a perfect example of government fiscal policy! Why? Because, I'm diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, Question: What would improve my life quality: a cure, or another B-2 bomber? Parkinsons receives the fewest federal research funds of any major disease. Meanwhile, BILLIONS of dollars are spent on B-2 bombers! Am I missing something here? Of course, since one result of my illness is a left arm tremor, anytime a bomber flies over, I can display my patriotism, since I'm in a state of perpetual wave-- Right, Newt? <smile & wave my left arm in the air> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I won't win any writing awards, but who knows? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peace from the Clouds" \--*MH*--/ Jeffrey Romanyshyn Email: [log in to unmask] "Myth Hawk" 28/Diagnosed 3yrs/Sinemet CR 2x/Sinemet 10/100 as morning booster and as needed/Eldepyrl 5mg 1x/NADH 2x/Rolfing (Deep Body Massage/Lift Weights-Cycle--4-5 times per week "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after he grows up." - Picasso. "A society that has long lived with oppositional thinking and a deeply embedded belief in dualism denies the dynamic interdependence of the opposites--which pulsates at the core of myth--what a mythic way of knowing is all about!" - (C.A.
