I completely understand how you feel. The bitter truth is that no one person can save the world, however, there is no reason to feel helpless. One person can have a significant impact, and knowing that drives me every day. Do what you love and are good at, put your 100% into it, and your result will be a positive impact.

: ) Thanks. It's just so frustrating knowing I can't do more, but you're right-- feeling helpless sure as hell doesn't do anything either.

You are such an amazing person, you know that?

Me?? Nah. Weird and crazy--yes, I'll admit to that. I do believe that if you're young, and have serious health issues to deal with, it forces you to grow you to grow up very quickly, and gives you a completely different perspective on life. I've been to hell and back again several times over, so I'm a pretty old soul. I understand that you're dealing with quite a bit yourself, so feel free to hit me anytime you wanna talk. My contact info is in my profile. I'd be happy to help you any way I can.

I'll have to take you up on that offer. Thank you so much. : )

I saw the same report on CNN, as I surfed during econ. I think it had been posted fifteen minutes before I read it. Go modern technology.
