Michelle, you've obviously taken my comments personally. I did not, however, direct them at you, but to the community at large. I am well aware that there have been problems, and that what I've seen this week is the culmination of ongoing issues. That is not my point.

Pain is pain is pain is pain ... no matter what disease it comes from. And we don't all have the same experience, of pain or diseases, because we are all different and affected differently. It's obvious to me that you don't get the point. You are tied up in your world of pain. I'm sorry for that. But I will not apologize for saying what I've said. You're damned straight I am standing up for my community.

With respect.
