No matter how bad most republicans are, we should remember that 'some' do 'some good' sometimes


For example, Former Republican House Minority Leader Robert Michel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Henry_Michel

Yesterday I re-watched the film "Lorenzo's Oil" for about the sixth time - a film regarding a young boy, Lorenzo Odone, with the disease adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenzo%27s_Oil_%28film%29

This evening while reading up on The Myelin Project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelin_Project
