I'm just glad that I was able to finally get out of the wheelchair
and return to work. Remember, the whole dialogue between
Steve Lare and I over me turning down a full disability? While
I was in the hospital doing physical therapy after my stroke, they
told me I'd never be able to return to teaching due to being
unable to walk. I stayed off of RRS during that period, because
I was too busy to deal with the likes of you and Lare. The hospital
told me that they had applied on my behalf for a disability.
I turned it down because I wasn't going to give up trying to
get back to teaching.

Well, God gave me enough strength to get through that rehab.
Not the revengeful God that you worship, Gwegg. But the
merciful God that heals and loves us all. I can now get
around with just a cane most of the time. But the open air
Waterfront Concert on the 4th necessitated a walk further
than the cane, alone, would have supported. I had to use a
walker with wheels. When Michael Franti saw me getting into
the concert despite having to use a walker, he came out into
the audience and danced with me. I was overwhelmed. Thank
God that there are still some folks in this world with love in their
hearts. If the world was full of people like you, there'd be
little reason to go on.

I think you've shown enough of your true nature over the
past few days to show everyone in this newsgroup who
you are and what you represent. As usual, YOU demon-
strated more about yourself, than I ever could. All I can
suggest to you is that you try love, instead.

Thanks,

Mike
