Michael J Fox should take his medication
posted October 25, 2006 - 10:58pmHey, we all like Mike. He is a talented actor. We were all sorry he got Parkinsons, a terrible disease. The Canadian born actor has taken a strong interest in politics. I believe he has dual citizenship. This is all well and good. This society encourages involvement and activism. I think Mike stepped over the line. I think he misrepresented himself and shamfully used his illness to promote a political agenda.
Before the debate starts let me first say that his own words in his biography state this. He would purposely skip his medication when appearing before Congress in his Stem Cell Research battle to gain support by showing the disease at it's worst. If he resorted to this then, how can we think anything else now with this new political ad that is causing all the controversy. In fact, the wild gesticulations and posturing before the camera brought on a remark by Rush Limbaugh that perhaps Mike was even acting a bit. That went over big but have you seen it yet? I'll say one thing, he was off his meds at the least and maybe deserves an emmy for best actor in a political ad at the most.
Parkinsons is a dreadful disease and if we have medication that controls it then he should be taking it. Not purposely making himself look worse for political gain. I used to do this when I tried to trick my mother to get out of going to school. Come on Mike, your better than this.
I am not going to go into the pro's and cons of this issue. I personaly think it is wrong to allow the research but that is a whole other debate. This is about dirty low down poitics at it's lowest form. Shame on you Mike. Take your medicine.
