Hi Group- Dilema.. Feedback appreciated...

[Guest guest]

Since I am a part of this group, I thought I would respond. I am

probably not a good person to ask this question of, since I have

very different opinions about life and the body than most of the

people on the group,or at least most of the posts I have read from

those who respond. On a daily basis,I read more misinformation and

disinformation about the body and cures, then I care to expound on.

I personally find it difficult to let things like that go. You

probably are of a different nature than I, from what I read in your

writing,you seem to be more of a diplomat. I on the other hand am a

confrontationalist and would not be able to let such things go if I

were the moderator of this group. I find most of the cures that

people offer laughable. I do not mean this in an insulting or

condescending way,eventhough I am certain that it sounds like it,

just that my education level in this area is quite different from

others. I would vote for correcting people because it is only that

way that people can become more educated about the body and how it

actually functions and what it needs, otherwise ignorance will

continue. Remember one man with courage makes a majority.THank you

for allowing me to be a member of this group. I deeply appreciate

it. WITH LOVE MARK
