      Oh we Indonesians look happy all the time, suburbanqueen. It drives me crazy sometimes.

   My first reaction was sympathy. I felt better when I saw that he was smiling. Yes, flowers, group hug. I'll resist any reference to the tree of life.

    yeah..some really bad skin disorder. It is said that there is some bacteria in the body that is usually present in all of us..but his body does not have the immune system to resist it. He needs Vitamin A to improve his condition.

    I saw a video report on him a while back and like others felt a great empathy for him. I don't see why his being happy should be irritating, it may be a coping mechanism, it may be the only way he can survive such a difficult disease.

    He got the condition from contracting the Human Papilloma Virus. That is the same virus that is spread sexually and gives women cervical cancer. I have never heard of a man being affected by it.
    
    In Texas, they were trying to pass a law that required girls by age 13 to be vaccinated against the disease. Thanks for sharing that.
