I guess you have not heard, the "GOP" has voted to pursue the lawsuit against "big tobacco." Also I have to comment that cancer has become an institution. Tens of thousands of government, educational and private sectors jobs now have become permanently dependent on the billions being pumped into the cancer research programs. It would be a socio/economical disaster if a cure was actually found and implemented. AIDS is another "disease boondoggle" with the cancer folks fighting the AIDS folks for the cash you and I pay out in taxes. Trouble with AIDS group is you can prevent it by keeping your dick out of the wrong places while, as my Dad's doctor once said "everybody will die of cancer if you live long enough." The perfect boondoggle disease.
