Additionally, Seeing a surgeon Tuesday to discuss removing some of what God gave me. :-) I do admire what you've done and it does make a difference, especially, I think, when you looks in a mirror. . My biggest complaint? No matter what we do as individuals, it will never be enough. If only we could force governments to assume their correct (and subservient) roles. Much like serfs, slaves and sharecroppers we're at the bottom of the food chain vis a vis our so-called leaders. Can you imagine what America could do if instead of spreading "democracy" in the Mid East we cured our own ailments at home? For the price of a nuclear sub we could provide medical care, good diets and education for much of Latin America. If we get to the point where life after death and pie in the sky aren't control factors there might be hope. Then, we begin to value what we have in the here and now. While the "idea" of eternal bliss, wrapped in the comforting cloak of Jesus (al-Lah, Jehovah) might have appeal, why push our luck? ;-) Walt p.s. If your organization ever needs images from Central Fla. let me know. Immokolee, Bell Glade and quite a few other places are still havens of poverty.
