Ok, why would anyone be so stupid to even let him include it in his speech. He obviously has no clue about cancer research or how money is doled out to conduct such research. Not to mention the state of the research on cancer in the US. What a frigging moron. leaving that one bit out would have increased the validity of his talking points by 100%.

The ONLY reason why cancer has not been cured, is because it is more profitable for insurance/pharamceutical companies to TREAT it. And yes, I do believe that. Anyone who knows anything about the fraud and greed of pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies knows that is probably the truth.

Sugar, I agree with many things you have said, but I call bullshit on this statement. Yes, pharma is a greedy lot of backstabbing mofos, but I sincerely doubt cancer will be "cured" in our lifetimes, or possibly forever. Cancer is the end-state of nuclear breakdown; as long as DNA is damageable, life will die of something, and that 'something' is cancer. (Assuming we gain the technology/understanding to fix everything else!)

Maybe. But I think it's possible. We never come up with cures anymore, we only come up with treatments, which benfits drug companies. Hell the FDA and pharma cos have been trying to shut down vitamin and herbal companies for years, because it cuts into their profit margin.

And I have to say, (another thought here), how can anyone say anything with a straight face against marijuana or other illegal drugs, when all we have on TV is commercials from pharmaceutical companies promoting (pushing) drugs? They now make drugs to make other drugs more efficient. It is a racket, and a worse racket than the illegal drug trade, IMHO.
