Well I might be joining the peri club!

Well it *has* been a long holiday, hasn't it.

I too am sick. I am sick of doctors taking advantage of a gullible old woman and a delirious old man to torture my father to death. He deserves very little, but he deserves a better death than he is getting from them. Any human being does.

I am sick of the practice of medicine bearing more resemblance to "The Old Woman Who Swallowed A Fly" than to anything any rational person would voluntarily choose.

And I am sick of "religions" of all kinds (doctrines that theirs is the One True Belief System) that would rather destroy a thing than learn about it.

I am very sorry about your father.

Believe me, I have educated myself on acupuncture and several other altmed practices. I never, but never, simply want to destroy something rather than learn about it. Never. I just a lot of questions and follow the evidence.
