Very astute and thought provoking Dennis....  A dose of reality is a necessary
evil....  But...  We don't want to dwell on what we consider the negative
aspects of reality when it comes to The Cure and the Time Frame...  so we
positively deny it.

Soooo, the focus of the suggested exploration is  What can we do to
ensure the positive aspects are met and What can we do to negate the
negative??????? (besides denying we're in denial)

Support PAN and the push for funding in US (this one's a "gimmee").

MJF is a Canadian (pat m'self on the back and beam)

Re-read Dennis's post and think about it.................

There must be more we can all "explore".

Thanks Dennis ..................... murray
