Oh ya, it came out in a biography published this year, I believe. (I still haven't read it.) But, if you think about what the man lived through, especially like the Cuban Missile Crisis and the power dynamics of the world at that time, and the fact he was over-treated with steroids for an illness when he was a kid, I think any of us would have sought help. Some of the media (and some Republicans) have been picking on him over this, as well as being obsessed with many Democratic President's private lives (which are *nobody's* business!), yet Republican Presidents, especially from Nixon on, who where often soaked in some pretty horrible, shady scandals (from Watergate to this current latest scandal involving Republicans involved in setting up a 'trading company' that would offer profits based on 'accurate predictions' of terrorist activities), that really bothers me. No, I am not picking on Republicans as a whole, because there where also good Republicans who strongly condemned this latest action, but it seems like much of the media is more obsessed with sex and past drug use than actual 'policy'. IMHO

P.S. There is *nothing* wrong with Canadian beef, and you most likely *would never* get anything like SARS by visiting Toronto!! Tell your politicians, please, to get over it and back to fair reality! The province of Alberta is *suffering* horribly, with many, many lost jobs, and Toronto has been crippled in it's tourism and offshoot industry (100,000's of jobs lost!!) by a media that inaccurately distorted the SARS cases in Toronto. As evidenced by yesterday's SARS concert, with the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, and Rush, it was the largest concert in *history*, anywhere! There where about 50,000 great American people of the 450,000 who knew this, and came from as far away California and Florida. People from most other countries around the world where in attendance too.

P.S.S Dr. Bob, I am not insulting anyone in particular, just my opinion about some'larger' issues.

Thanx for listening,
James

Ahhh..I am a pretty easy-going guy, and 'James' is WAY too formal. But thanks, anyways. :-)

And ya, about the politicans and their antics, it is very childish, and mostly to use it to get a vote. But..next time they come looking for wood and water..well...we have the lead in that. Doubling the prices wouldn't be a problem for us. :-)

Ya I left 1/2 way through the Stones, as they put on such a dispirited show. Egos, BIG TIME for the Stones, and that is something all other artists didn't have. Even AC/DC and Rush who where 2nd and 3rd on the bill, where all smiles. Geddy Lee looked absolutely amazing for his 50'th birthday. You could tell they where humbled by the experience.

Poor Justin Timberlake, though, as I thought the water-bottle throwing thing at him was plain rude. He is just a young kid trying to do good, and nobody had any business doing what they did.

Thanks...
Jay :-)
