Reading about another person dying from cancer, especially someone that you are familiar with
because of their occupation and reputation for excellence, is really infuriating. How many of the
readers know of someone that passed away because of this God awful disease. I've lost family
members and loved ones to the horrors of cancer and it's a bigger threat to everyone than any
Nuclear War with another country be it N. Korea, Russia or anyone else. Joe Biden was given
the challenge of campaigning for a cure for cancer. He lost his son, Beau, to cancer and know
what? He's trying to do that through fund raising via private donations but there is a faster way.

How about we cut the antics in Washington, D.C. and since we're going to break the trillion dollar
barrier in our national debt by 2020, heck, screw the number and let it grow to $1.2 trillion owed
as long as the additional money gets ultimately spent finding a real cure for cancer. I pray Dennis
passed through the gates of Paradise ten mins before the devil even knew he left and is now
debating with Tim Scruggs & others about the best way to build a pool cue that he was so good at.
