I agree with you. I'm a private DU'er and don't post the stuff that's gone on with me or family in these years we've been through all of this. Much of this is normal through years that there would be illnesses and problems...but I do believe that STRESS causes some Bad Stuff that makes many of us who have "sensitivities" much more prone to have problems when others who aren't so sensitive seem to thrive and come through with MIRACLES... (think Dick Cheney or Rumsfeld/Bush and others who either have BIG Problem and find care...or NEVER have a problem).

I'm just saying that Alter had a problem and got helped out. After his Cancer his "Activist" stance seem to go more with "Status Quo." I don't know him...only know the reports about him...and I posted Downthread as to his cancer.

LIFE PROBLEMS can cause many of us to make "changes" in who we are an how we approach our lives going forward. For some it's changing to keep our jobs or status with our peers, for others ...they keep going where they were going or give up and find pleasure in something besides POLITICS.

It's hard to know which way it goes for us...it's individual... is what I'm trying to say..
