Hi, all: I'm sorry to disagree with you, but I totally agree with Janet re Ms. Reno. Do you realize the tremendous responsibilities that go with her job.........not to mention the criticism? I imagine if she focused on the problems of PD it would only serve to add "fuel to the fire" in the eyes of her critics, who are constantly demanding her resignation regardless of whether or not she is doing a good job. I also believe she stated that there she could pursue other interests at a later time. My PD is also progressing and I realize the "timeline" we are all on, but the mere fact that a person with PD happens to be a celebrity or public figure doesn't obligate them in any way to "help the cause" and we shouldn't be offended if they don't publicize their illness --for whatever reason they have. I think it's wonderful to have people like MJF and M. Ali to promote research for PD but it was their choice to do so, and that's as it should be.
