VICTIM?
The "controversy" over Michael J. Fox this week has been absolutely appalling. After he filmed a political ad advocating for stem-cell research, Fox was slandered by Rush Limbaugh, who actually accused him of faking his symptoms ("He is an actor, after all"). Fox responded with the low-key grace, humour and charm he's always displayed. This clip'll take a bit to load but it's worth it:
Fox's story could've been a tragic one -- charming comic actor struck down in his prime by Parkinson's -- but the way he's played the cards he's been dealt is incredibly inspiring. I've felt nothing but admiration for him and never more so than this week.

That was a wonderful clip and rather inspiring. I am impressed by the fact that Fox very poignantly and pointedly demonstrated his respect for those who would "prayerfully" reject stem cell research. In other words, he called both sides to the table in the debate and asked for respect of the majority. How very democratic and measureds.
