i hope you are right chester, but cp being cured in the future does not mean
i don't have to accept it in the present.

I have had just about enough of this thing.  It was a commerical about the
future.  I even think that in the future people  with CP may be cured.
Maybe not in most of our liifetims but I think IT WILL HAPPEN.  DON'T GIVE
UP HOPE!!!!!!
