so confused.

First, the implication in your posting is rather frightening to me.

I do believe that you have beliefs that would mean that you would not

do anything that would harm you.

Strange, as I am typing this, one of my state senators is explaining

how he has been able to fight 2 brain surgeries, possibly one

previous cancer and more recently, battling Hodgkins diesase. The

person who spoke to him said that the new book he has written about

what he has done to battle all of the help issues he has

experienced. I don't always agree with him, but do admire him for

his personal battles with a number of serious physcial condtions.

So, perhaps, you might want to go to your public library and see if

they have the new book by Senator Arlen Spector. I think that he

does amazes me -- I remember seeing him going to one of his favorite

diners in Philly after one of his surgeries and that was 12 years

ago.

I can't say that cancer, brain tumors or brain surgery are like what

we battle daily and I do have to admit that he had the means to get

the treatment he did, but it sounded as if he has found something

that allowed him remain positive during all of these struggles.

And I am not writing this to make a political statement -- it's just

that as I read your message and started writing this, I just heard

the reporter talking to him about his personal physcial battles and

where/what he found that helped him cope with all the phyical crisis

and remain in the Senate.

I don't know what his religious background, but I get the impression

that was part of what helped him.
