For you to insult Muhammad Ali, a courageous, internationally admired Parkinson's spokesperson, by using his former name (Cassius Clay), and then to call him lazy, is BLATANTLY racist. The only finger pointing that needs to be done here is mispelling of a name, i. e., Cacius (Cassius). I can understand why Billy, er...Heather...er...Elizabeth...er...(NOW here's a problem.) calls Ali lazy. Whenever, I've seen Ali on TV, he looks like a parkie who isn't taking any medication because of lack of expression, etc. Also, "all his efforts on behalf of Parkies everywhere" is politically incorrect. I believe it's only been recently that Muhammad Ali has used his celebrity to speak out publicly for PK research.
