Good for them, but we all know cancer research is one of the biggest money pits out there. Years upon years and billions of dollars spent, and still no cure. If you want to look at the bigger picture, take a look at how much the cancer rate has increase the past 25 yrs, hand in hand with the big food companies, who hold farmers hostage, selling us their processed garbage. Follow the money trail and you’ll eventually get to the pharmaceuticals and our wonderful politicians in Washington. It’s all interconnected and we have the responsibility to as citizens to stop supporting all this garbage.

GassyMan2010 commenting on University Hospitals receives $35 million gift for cancer research and treatment

While I agree that a lot of money (maybe too much?) gets spent on cancer research (although honestly I can’t complain since it, you know, pays my salary) it seems awfully disingenuous to imply that no progress has been made. Cancer isn’t really one homogenous disease that will have one cure, and it seems kind of misleading/unproductive to lump all neoplastic processes into one category. Like, we don’t just look for one cure-all for viruses.

The Cleveland Fire Department is investigating why firefighters who extinguished a burning car early Saturday failed to see the body of a man who had been shot to death and left inside.
The victim, who had not been identified Monday, was shot in the neck and died before the fire was set, according to the Cuyahoga County Coroner’s office.
The body was not discovered until about four hours after the fire was doused when police arrived to tow the vehicle. Officials would not say where the body was in the car.

Cleveland fire officials to investigate why body was not found in burned car

business as usual in Cleveland

A demolition contract is close to being signed, according to officials with the Ingham County Land Bank, which bought the property for $400,000 in September.
But before it goes, the dilapidated motel - once a haven for prostitutes and drug addicts - will experience a brief rebirth as an urban art hot spot and then as a different kind of hot spot for fire department training.
About 30 graffiti artists from the area and as far away as Chicago and New York have been invited to use a symbol of urban rot as a canvas to showcase urban rebirth.
The artists will be doing their thing at their own expense July 30-31 and on Aug. 1 at the former motel on South Washington Avenue…
A formal public viewing will be set up after Aug. 1, and other local artists will be allowed to set up their own works on the property around the building.
Some time after that, Lansing Fire Department and possibly firefighters from the region get to take over.
Rescue workers will likely practice breaking through doors and walls to get to a fire.

I think with a Socialistic society there will be a law of allowing only two children to be born. The government is not going to support more than that - maybe only one child and if there’s more pregnancies then people will have to have abortion. Like China. Nancy Pelosi already made reference to that concept of government only paying for one child. So that will cut down on the birth rate in Cleveland for sure. The government is not going to pay for a bunch of kids from one mother.

My point proven.

Only way to reduce the murders is to isolate all the people on welfare or no visible source of income. We need to build camps and place welfare recipients and those with no visible source of income in them and separate the sexes so they can’t reproduce!
This will cause a significant reduction in the number of murders, drug trafficing, car jackings, etc.
