I DID NOT SAY THAT. I just mentioned that Lasik was another

Sorry if there was any misunderstanding Rosalie, I lost that post I was
referring to and was relying on memory for the gist of it.

What I was inferring, or at least what I intended to infer, wasn't that
you were against anything or for anything else (the reply wasn't about
you), just that I seemed to remember you had brought it up in a way that
asked something like why do that when there is Lasik. And I do agree
that most people are happy with the surgery, esp. compared to what they
have been going through with glasses or contacts. I just wanted people
to know that there are important reasons to use it vs. Lasik so they
would know there was a choice other than what their
optomotrists/opthamologists were telling them and a choice other than
voluntarily having body parts cut off. I have to admit that there are
some subjects that get my shorts in a knot (and I'd guess it affects how
I write) - one being medical advice/proceedures vs. patients actually
doing something proactive to heal or avoid disease in the first place.
That takes education and effort and unfortunately only a relatively few
are interested so we have our present idiotic medical boondoggle and
associated costs instead of a healthy and self-sufficient population.
rant off

So my answer was only intended as education, not intended at all to be
about you, and not intended as any kind of slight whatsoever.
