The Secret Society of Dragon Slayers

I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I wonder "where the heck is everybody?"   I mean we have walks and runs and ribbons and campaigns for just about every disease known to man-kind. Every disease, that is, except HCV.  Now don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining.  I'm just thinking that the HCV+HBV 2-headed dragon takes out 5 million folks world-wide every year and nobody's even heard of the freakin' thing.  What's the deal here? I was talking about this to my sister.  She's had breast cancer. Twice. Both sides.  I got nothing on her as far as suffering is concerned.  She asked me what it's like to fight my battle anonymously, while her battle is always in the public eye.  I had to think about it but then I explained to her that we are Dragon Slayers.  We take some casualties.  But we kill a lot of Dragons. Killing Dragons is cool. The fact that we kill 'em and nobody notices is not that important.  You see we are THE SECRET SOCIETY OF DRAGON SLAYERS.   I suppose what I'm getting at is that our victories - most recently Kary - are not invalidated or diminished because so few are watching.  In fact, they may be worth more. I love you all.  And I invite you into the Secret Society of Dragon Slayers.  We need t-shirts. Possibly even a secret handshake.     Jack
