I hear that crap all the time too " Well You Look Good " like that is

suppose to make all the damage and crap we go thru daily go away.

Like said below, people can look good in the coffin!! That statement

makes me want to slap them in a mold hole! Rhonda

I personally find it hard to believe that the ss system is abused,

it's so hard to get it and it's not like you financally set for life

when you do get it. i've never been so poor in my life. sometimes you

have to stop and realize that someone on it may not look ill but is.

can't really judge when your not in thier shoes, right? i think this

is something we should be able to relate to.

Yes, plenty people do abuse ssi. I saw them when I ran ads for

people to take care of my greataunt, people on ssi but wanted to

work secretly and applying for job that was quit strenuous, a couple

of them single moms with no husband to help with small children find

out that the services are better on ssi than welfare. How do they

get through all of this?? If you know people on ssi, they help

prepare you for getting it, and on welfare and other services. What

I found was that low wage workers know all the ways to get free

money. Now I'm not putting them down really. Many people are

underpaid for hard work and can't make it even when willing to work

hard but just saying that yes people can and do get ssi without a

disability because they have friends on it and know how to jump

through the hoops, then sick person comes along and knows nothing

and gets tossed out since basically they didn't know how to play the

game...and it is a game when it comes to invisible disability in

alot of ways. However usually they frequently don't have the

strength or mental state to find all this out and pursue it, so they

are denied and other people who are not sick get it. However don't

throw the baby out with the bath water. Ways to determine illness,

more experienced or impartial people judging patient's conditions

could fix the problems.

I agree with the ban on chemicals-when I was in local government-I

fought the use of pesticides-there are governments that do ban all

uses-in Canada-several years ago when I was in the thick of it-there

were maybe 20 some cities in Canada that had taken a no chemical

usage stance-not even Round-up-no chemical fertilizers- it is just

another front that everyone needs to keep leaning on. In VA-no one

cared-spray pesticides even if it does no good-Since I have moved to

NM-the attitude here is far different-most people are very sensitive

to my illness-and there are alot of MCS people here-even if the Docs

dont have a clue.

you do know that the US accepts products that Japan, China,and

the EU Government do not allow in their countries. The Bush

Administration is trying to stop the regulation of dangerous chemicals

that are in our products such as baby products, fragranced products.

They even send the wood that Japan, etc. will not accept. I am not

sure if you knew that info.

I am actually for the responsible use of chemicals. They have made

life so much better for so many people I would never want to stifle

the progress we made or have the industry shift over to third world

country's which will be even more irresponsible with them
