I like and admire the Pope, not kidding here, but can't help but think
what an advantage it must be to have your own airplane and a whole staff
of CG's. I can't get to Loma Linda, 55 miles away to a decent neuro.
Getting to the grocery store and thru checkout is a miracle of sorts.

I wish that people like him, who have all the help and money they need,
might do a little more to publicize the plight of the rest of us poor
stiffs with poverty level pensions and $1.00 a mo raises on
SSDisability, reduced 60% due to pension, and no CG.  I really admire
Chris Reeve's awareness that other spinal cord injury patients do not
have the same care he does..

But then, his spiritual presence is probably sufficient, in the view of
most people. Rayilyn
