I agree the *information* you were passing on in the Greed and Heartless piece is important, Reid. The issue is walking the fine line between humor or drama and what could easily be seen as offensive or even bigoted. If even a sympathetic doctor read that piece, (s)he might take the message to heart, but would find the presentation offensive and threatening and consider the source to be hostile and unapproachable. Thus you'd never know if you did any good and we'd lose the opportunity of working with that person. The same thing could have been said without the broad brush characterization, is what I'm trying to say I guess. As I've said, we've got plenty of material for sober criticism of mainstream practice. Just how much influence we have will be determined in part by how we act in cases like this. The personal stories we hear are *powerful* indicators of what needs to be done. We don't need to exaggerate or stereotype to get our point across. You know we don't disagree on much, here. It's not the main thrust of your message but the subtext that concerns me. Thanks for putting the info out. I hope it helps those who need it. Be well, Mike D.
