Greg - With all due respect, money is limited. If you raise funding to one area, you'll have to cut funding to another.
If you were an alien coming from another planet and you saw nothing but American television, you'd think that America has 3 professions - doctors, lawyers, and cops, and that Americans all die of either AIDS or breast cancer.
Death sucks, no matter the cause. The most preventable deaths are car accidents. If I die before the age of 80, it will be in a car accident. Guaranteed.
Instead, it's all lobbies for who complains the loudest. Men & women both die of about the same cancer rates but women cancers gain more money. Why? They complain louder. I'll probably get reamed for saying that but numbers are numbers. Yet, you have politically correct activists who say crap like "if men died from breast cancer, it would have been cured by now."
Oh, really? So, we've cured prostate cancer and testicular cancer? I don't think so. Stuff like that pisses me off.
Breast cancer isn't funny. If someone lost a breast, I would feel real bad for them. If they died, I'd feel really, really bad for them.
Yet at my last full-time job, we had a manager who lost a testicle to cancer. Two women were JOKING about it.
So why am I making a deal out of this? Because like I said, raise government funding for one thing, you gotta cut something else.
I got an idea. How about we raise funding for ALL cancers and cut funding for the Homeland Security, which is about as useful as, hmm..., can't think of anything as useless as Homeland Security.
