Of course I whole heartedly endorse and support your endeavours. But I'm beginning to get a bit skeptical about the immediacy of a cure. I mean, even if the bll is passed, money given to research and a cure found , we're talking about a few years. And what is going to happen to me in the meantime, and you, and maryhelen davila, and gina cass and Dennis greene, and Bill Heitman,, and all those others in our age group? Where are we going to be, and who's going to take care of us. So, let's not just worry about a cure - yes of course that's the number one concern. But can't we spare a little time and thought and maybe some money, to making life a little more pleasant, and a whole lot more comfortable till the coming of the cure?
