      One of the many reasons that having human pharmacists might be a bad thing, as they pose a security and HIPAA leak risk that need not be there, turns out to be important today as America finds out, not to anyone's actual surprise, that some of the nation's top lawmakers are being treated for Alzheimer's and other serious conditions that certain will make people question their choices for congress.

                  Statistically it's probably close to 1/3 of them. Alzheimer's effects 33% of people over 70.

                    One has to assume that in a highly selective group, like people who win national elections, that the statistics would not apply as this is a highly select group presumaby on direct correlation factors to the disease.

                        Another quote

                        Sounds an awful lot like government. . .

                          This makes sense as it seems like they're trying to tackle the same issues session after session and they get nothing done.

                            Now we know that it is simply because they didn't remember doing it last time.

                                          It's fairly common knowledge (speculation) that one of our Senators has Alzheimber's, Dementia, or something of the like, yet somehow this knowledge wasn't enough to get him dethroned during his most recent election. When you've been there long enough and have some clout, people just get scared of losing that power and with it losing money for your state.

                                            That's because voter's tend to be sheep that'll vote for the person they've always voted for.

                                            Remember the comedy about it with Eddie Murphy?
