[Oe List ...] Cancer as profitable

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Marshall wrote of his friend with brain cancer:

the cancer process is replicating exponentially, and is  therefore highly 
'profitable' in commanding his dwindling bodily  resources.


It reminded me of something I read when I was having my lymphoma  
experience. "More people make a living from cancer than die from it."  I've  avoided 
the 'survivor' label  and fund raisers for most cancer  non-profits.
 
In the book How We Die, the author compares cancer cells to juvenile  
delinquents. Thank you, Marshall, for your new comparison. Rampant  capitalism as 
a cancer on civil society is very apt, since profit is the  primary value 
held for any decision.
 
In my e-mail re:Projections, my last sentence should have said "In the  
house of All That Is, whom we have chosen to call Father, are many  mansions."
 
Thank you, Marshall, for not keeping your mouth shut. (Though there have  
been moments......)
 
Love and blessings,
Jann
