Hi Fogottenchild,

As someone said, it can be riske` to tell a room full of people such very personal things because of the general public's ignorance.

But in this instance, BOY did you show them! The guy turned red-faced, back-peddled - and was educated in the process - as I'm QUITE sure the rest of the class was as well.

Michael J. Fox has been a leading advocate of not only finding a cure for Parkinson's, but more adamantly, for not hiding in a closet from society out of shame for our disabilities.

It is now into second millennium--WAY past time that society became more confortable around people who are different (for whatever reason) and stopped fearing, turning away from, and in the process ostracizing them.

So, you're the hero here, child. Ya done good.
