^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/12 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 57 deg. F *********************************************************** I must say that I was quite shocked to learn today, upon telephoning a college classmate in Boston, that America had dropped 90 or 100 bombs on "terrorists." All I could think of is, why can't President Clinton issue an Executive Orde instead, and drop 90 or 100 million dollars into the needy budgets of promising neurological research projects that might lead to the BIG DISCOVERY that will cure Parkinson's Disease? How many innocent lives are being snuffed out by bombs, while we who are sick and suffering see America's precious resources drained away into overseas military machoism again?? IN the 60's, my two favorite buttons were "Make Bread, Not Bombs" and "What if they gave a war and nobody came?" Who has time for wars when people who are ill are left to die uncured? Now "Our Time is Running Out!" The sand in our Parkinson's hourglass is nearly gone. Mr. Clinton has not, in my humble opinion, advanced his position, or America's popularity, by using bombs to deflect attention away from Ms. Lewinsky. If he would declare a "War on Disease," I would THEN be a warrior!! Meanwhile the War on Parkinson's must be fully funded. Until the government's priorities are changed, I am truly too busy trying to conquer Parkinson's Disease to agree meanwhile to another war on "terrorists!"
