While I do feel for these people, having seen both of my parents become wheelchairbound from stroke and Lou Gehrig's disease, I don't recall my brothers and I running to the govt and the public with our hands out... er I mean, trying to "raise their awareness". We took care of our own.



Still, there would be plenty of medicare money for people like this, who I would like to help, if we would stop giving huge wads of cash to support heroin addicts' habits, stop providing openended free drugs to the most wealthy Americans, stop giving Viagra to paroled sex offenders....etc....etc....etc.



I'm beginning to worry about how much "awareness raising" my pocketbook can stand.

Today your Dad would have been convinced by our publicly funded army of shrinks that he is a victim of his environment and that he would have to make the best of it by adapting to conditions. Take your soma and give up dude bacause there's nothing you can do about it. You see these guys by the thousands sitting by the road with hand written cardboard signs that say "please help". The public drive by completely unaware that these chronically homeless guys are the creation of the shrinks with their drugs, shocks and lobotomies.



Lucky for your Dad that he was too young and this "therapeutic society" machine that sucks up and destroys so many people in the name of help didn't exist.
