Word Verification...Accessibility...

Spamming necessitates the temporary use of "captchas," which are more commonly known as "word verification." The childhood act of spamming leads me to take this action temporarily.

I am well aware, and saddened by the fact, that while captchas filter out--thwart--spammers, they also make the act of making comments impossible for individuals who use screen readers.

Be assured, I am working to rectify that situation.

Health is a Gift, NOT a Given


      The prospect that the health care reform debate will be reignited concerns me.  Why?  The pros and cons of no proposal interest me.             My message to every individual engaged in such a debate is simple.  Before stating any position on this issue, please contemplate the following truth, then, and only then proceed to advocate for the cause.      None of us is guaranteed that we will wake up with the same capabilities that we go to sleep tonight.  Our health is not a given over which we may presume ownership.  Health--physical, mental, psychological, spiritual--is a gift.  We cannot compromise that gift, lest we lose it, and deservedly so.
