Yay.. We people have the power to make ourselves heard! I recall having heard my son, a computer scientist, saying many years ago that the internet is the most democratic institution we have ever seen on this planet, because anyone who has access to a computer can have an equal voice in the "community"...and will be unless or until there are regulations on the internet. At the time, I was just learning about the internet, but also had been diagnosed with an early stage of cancer. I fortunately had access through the internet to some of the best information on the planet, but also knew better than to pay attention to the scare stories that were also online. My complete recovery over 12 years ago with no further concern, was due in part to the vast wealth of information available to me. In fact, when I saw the oncologist, she said "We wish that our patients were all as well-informed as you are." So my belief is that having all information that is available on the web being freely available to all is imperative, and, at times, can be life-saving. Let's keep speaking up...let your voice and mine be heard. I just called my Senator's office...easy to do and easy to leave a strong message! Encourage you to do the same.
