| 19. I'm sorry, but that isn't true that he had no clue. |

Believe me, those suffering from this horrible, insidious disease have every clue of what's happening to them for several years, at least, even if it seems that they don't. They may not have a clue the last couple of years, but the rest of the time they most certainly do. And to know what's happening to them is one of the cruelest things of all, I've seen my stepdad's reaction to it.
And, again, can we please try to separate the politics from the human being? Why does everything have to be political all the time? There are some things that definitely transcend politics, and this is one of them.
