In addition to thanking Joan Samuelson and Micheal J. Fox, let's remember to thank 20-20 and John Stossel who always does an insightful report. So many gloss over, but John Stossel probes, whatever the subject. He focused on the unfairness ... I also agree that the world needs to know that the Parkinson Patient in so many cases cannot "march", "get in your face" or even be understood even if he/she is speaking eloquently because his/her enunceation is so poor and garbled due to he disease. Also, hope we can find a way to raise the awareness of the costs to the economy including disability, medication, loss of productivity and that the return on investment in research would more than pay for the initial output of funds. AGAIN, THANKS TO ALL YOU TROOPERS AND MICHEAL J. FOX, THE APPLAUSE YOU ARE GETTING NOW THE BEST YOU HAVE EVER HAD AND IT IS THUNDEROUS! Virginia Christiansen White Plains, NY [log in to unmask]
