http://thepete.com/a/cancerruinslives a post about cancer, what it does & why we need to change our thinking

I posted some thoughts about cancer yesterday, but I hope that, if you missed it or skipped it, you'll take some time to read those thoughts today.  According to World Health Organization statistics, one in three people in the developed world (that's our world) will get cancer.  Yet, we spend hundreds of billions more on fighting terror than we spend on researching cancer.  Why is this?  I know cancer is depressing but the person at the next desk over, or the person behind you in line at the Starbucks, or the guy in the car next to you stuck in traffic or someone you love could have cancer already.  We need to rethink how we think about cancer.

Please check out my post from yesterday.  Thanks.
