That fact of the matter is you don't know if I have it or not. The actuallity of it being a problem for me now or in the near future is real. I don't care if my speeches didn't work on you, you still get the point. There is no need to be a prick about things that really aren't any of your business. Just because you don't hold the same beliefs as I do doesn't mean you can belittle me for the ones I have. I'm so tired of your opinions being the be all end all of things. The fact of the matter is your not any smarter then anyone else and stateing your opinons the way you do makes people hostile towards you.
I know you say cancer has affected your family and I'm sorry to hear about that. its not an easy thing to deal with. I wonder if you would ever even consider making such a comment to your Aunt or her family if she were still alive today. I would bet not because even you Ben don't seem that callous and mean. You may not have mean to offend me in the manner you did but I was hurt. Not only has cancer directly affected my family and interupted my life but i have dedicated a good portion of my time and effort towards helping those with cancer through programs like relay. When you say a cure shouldn't be worked towards it make what I have chosen to do with my time and energy seem like a waste, which it most certianly is not.
Come down off your high horse sometime and join the rest of us once in awhile.

Two aunts, an uncle, a grandfather and a cousin, actually. Other than heart disease it's one of the only things left that seem to actually be able to take people when it's their time in this country. As someone who was prematurely diagnosed with probable brain cancer a few years ago, I think that I AM one to speak of such things whether you agree or not. Regardless of how often it's numbers are compared with AIDS and car accidents and the like, after looking at quite a bit of information on the physical, cellular process of cancer I concluded that a death from cancer would be a natural death, and such a perspective brought me some measure of comfort back when I had been told I had it.

Now, if such a perspective does nothing for you, that's unfortunate. But how calling attention to such a perspective belittles your own I don't know, as I don't know why it's none of my business after you've appealed to me (among others) over the internet for money for it.

... What happened at Allee's wedding reception, anyway? I thought you guys left early.
