It also made me think that maybe Roger Daltry has a point. There's far too much money in cancer to ever bother with actually curing it.

Why cure the disease when you can make so much money "treating" it?

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!


I honestly believe there are many who are doing good stuff

We would know about them. Mainily because they could make a freaking fortune selling them.

Call me silly, but following the advice of 80 year old hedonists seems like a sure fire way to f things up.

Cancer sucks! Sorry for your loss.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.

Sorry to hear that. Cancer comes in so many forms and great progress has been made with many cancers.

However, this myriad of diseases called cancer still takes far too many of us. At present roughly 40% of us will receive a diagnosis of cancer, but again many are indeed being cured or have significantly prolonged lifespans.

Again, sorry for the loss of your former partner. It truly sucks.
