"The sky ain't falling, folks!"

--DougR

DougR, I know you don't mean to sound callous. And I know that in this free country, you needn't be concerned with my misfortunes. But having a severely limited use of my body is a bit like the sky falling. So I hope you can appreciate why I might be a little less than objective when issues relating to the environment and to my health are being considered.

I hope you never have to experience the kind of health problems I do. But don't be at all surprised if it does happen to you or to someone you care about. It can happen to anyone. And it is happening in increasing numbers. And that's why it's important for us to make these decisions carefully, being mindful of what's best for everyone.
