Finnish Medical Association has its own site for physicians only. The story below was lifted from there. <BR> <BR>If you find it tasteless, you are free to remove it <BR>_____________________________________ <BR> <BR> <BR>"The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate <BR>father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. <BR>Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be <BR>here soon.' <BR> <BR>Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer <BR>happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, <BR>Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to...' <BR> <BR>'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting <BR>you.' <BR> <BR>'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know <BR>babies are my specialty?' <BR> <BR>'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a <BR>seat !. <BR> <BR>After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?' <BR> <BR>'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, <BR>and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. <BR>You can really spread out there.' <BR> <BR>'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!' <BR> <BR>'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try <BR>several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure <BR>you'll be pleased with the results.' <BR> <BR>'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs. Smith. <BR> <BR>'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and <BR>out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.' <BR> <BR>'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly. <BR> <BR>The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby <BR>pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said. <BR> <BR>'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat. <BR> <BR>'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their <BR>mother was so difficult to work with.' <BR> <BR>'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith. <BR> <BR>'Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done <BR>right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look' <BR> <BR>'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement. <BR> <BR>'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The <BR>mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and <BR>when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels <BR>began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.' <BR> <BR>Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, <BR>uh...equipment?' <BR> <BR>'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can <BR>get to work right away.' <BR> <BR>'Tripod?' <BR> <BR>'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big <BR>to be held in the hand very long.' <BR>Mrs. Smith fainted"

In a few short days, an African American man will move from his private residence into a much larger and infinitely more expensive one owned not by him but by the taxpayers. A vast lawn, a perimeter fence and many well trained security specialists will insulate him from the rest of us but the mere fact that this man will be residing in this house should make us all stop and count or blessings - because it proves that we live in a nation where anything is possible. <BR> <BR>Many believed this day would never come. Most of us hoped and prayed that it would, but few of us actually believed we would live to see it. Racism is an ugly thing in all of it's forms and there is little doubt that if this man had moved into this house fifteen years ago, there would have been a great outcry - possibly even rioting in the streets. Today, we can all be both grateful and proud that no such mayhem will take place.when this man takes up residency in this house. <BR> <BR>This man, moving into this house at this time in our nation's history is much more than a simple change of addresses for him - it is proof of a change in our attitude as a nation. It is an amends of sorts - the righting of a great wrong. It is a symbol of our growth . <BR> <BR>There can be little doubt now that the vast majority of us truly believe that this man has earned both his place in history and his new address. His time in this house will not be easy - it will be fraught with danger and he will face many challenges. I am sure there will be many times when he asks himself how in the world he ended up here and like all who have gone before him, the experience will age him greatly. <BR> <BR>But I for one will not waste an ounce of worry for his sake - because in every way a man can, he asked for this. His whole life for the past fifteen years appears to have been inexorably leading this man toward this house. Today, I thank the lord above that I am an American and that I live in a nation where wrongs are righted, where justice matters and where truly anything is possible. <BR> <BR>scroll down....... <BR>. . . <BR> <BR>. <BR>. <BR>, <BR>, <BR>, <BR>, <BR>, <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>. <BR>> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.atomorrow.net/discus/messages/13/164.jpg" alt="">
