I may be setting myself up for a ton of criticism (abuse even), but what do you think is going to happen to the money the Udall bill would provide. I mean, let's be honest people, do you think all the Washington mucky-mucks will actually allow millions of dollars go into research for such an "In the dark" disease. Even if it is passed, you know how the government works. That money will definitely be going somewhere else besides its intended place. What we really need is not more money for research, it's more awareness of the disease. I don't know, maybe it sounds foolish, and maybe the money could be used for the specific purpose of hightened awareness. Don't you think the money would be better suited, AT THIS TIME, to help those with a more widely regarded problem, e.g. breast cancer, hunger, teenage drug use, you know, something that people actually know something about. If I sound cynical, it's because I am just that. Jacob Drollinger (26, '88)
