Well, Donna, I am a bit older than you, so I certainly have a different view of

(via Congress) made in our medical lives, and ever since, many people think
Government can fix that Trojan horse. I didn't vote for President Hillary. By
the way, when you write your book, be sure and use your spell checker and logic
checker on the manuscript. Ken
