Nice quadruple post Stratos! Wow, can you say "edit" button boys and girls??

Actually, with that avatar, I don't blame. I know you don't want to be thought of as worshiping false gods!

My mom had breast, lymph node, and uvula cancer. Over the past few years. Yes, she still smokes! I asked her how many body parts they would have to cut out, before she gets it.

My step-dad has Parkinson's Disease. With the treatments he has been receiving in Germany twice over the last few years, he's almost living a "normal" life. He's 79 now.

I think the real question is: "What is killing us"? Is it our food, our environment, or what? Or some combo, or all, or more. I don't believe people were getting cancer in droves hundreds of years ago. I may be wrong.

I don't think the Sun is much of a cause of skin cancer either. If that were true, I think we would be extinct, or if you're in the evolution crowd, would have built up immunities.

But, yeah, let's spread the love with the charities around. Jerry got 61+ million for his kids this year. That's just from the average Joe!
The corporate stuff is separate. That can help a lot of people in a lot of other fields as well.
