Washington (AP) - Entertainer Jerry Lewis spent 37 years
in constant pain as a result of his trademark physical
comedy, leading to an addiction to pills. "In 1965, they
gave me one percodan that took me through the day. And by
'78, I was taking 13 a day, 15 a day," he said on Sunday
on abc's This Week. "The addiction is devastating,
because you're not even clear any more why you're taking
it. I had already discussed a variety of options, one of
which was to kill myself," he said. "Chronic pain is not
like any other malady. It is consistent. It is laborious.
It is constant. It doesn't leave you alone. It is the
number one reason that we have suicides in this country
today." Relief came in 2002 with neurostimulation, which
delivers precisely controlled, low-voltage electrical
stimulation to the spinal cord. The stimulation blocks
pain messages from reaching the brain.

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:

    "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
    "For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
    "And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
- Matthew 10:34-36.
