I know this is a bit off topic, but diabetes does affect many directly,
maybe even some of our list membership, and in the end, it affects us
all, because we are connected to our fellow man.

Please visit the American Diabetes Association web site, read their
current petition (about 10 lines), then act according to your own
conscience.
