hey brother, ya know, right back at ya :)
you said that the real root cause is money.. hmm yes
but what about this:
the real root cause is greed, and all the super greedy people have abundances of money, so we associate money as the problem.
Ironically there is no real reason why money, weapons, or technology should be dangerous or cause problems. I think, much like in Zen buddhism (hey I'm not pushing it! it's your life!) - most external problems start from within.
It's far too easy to choose external things whose source is an internal humanisation (that is so much to say that all external man made things like money, division of land, weapons, come from only one place, inside ourselves.
We could all learn a lot from zen buddhism by rejecting the insanity of externalism. Few people walk this path, it's considered `too impractical` or `madness` or `deprivation`. All true, whoever said peace internal and external was without sacrafice.
:)
Peace,
Denial

Sorry for a double post, but Rick Simpson is curing cancer with Cannabis trichome isopropyl extract - and no - I'm not joking about this.
Peace,

ps: I killed a massive spider (3cm diameter plus) some 30 seconds after writing these posts, because i'm arachnophobic, I hate spiders with a passion because i was taught to from a young age, and because I'm holding onto something. This is a problem. Still, you can't lose something you aren't holding onto. Maybe there is hope for us in our violent and disrespectful ways :< sometimes I wonder if I'm being tested, and sometimes I think I am, by myself - constantly.
Peace.

fluid69; First, my deepest sympathies on the recent loss of your friend. Second, thanks for the post because you reminded me why this perticular case (young mother w/children) really made me so angry. "loved life, loved music,....." could have been written about my wife 22 years ago. I realized that in my mind I was experiencing the pain I felt back then, not of a slightly detached caregiver, but the pain of lossing a loved one way too soon.
Last night I had a conversation with a women who works as a physicians' assistant for an oncologist, her specialty is pediatric cancer. Talk about painfull stories; dealing with the innocents of children and the horrors of cancer. She was able to give me a new look at how to handle certian things in my mind, without becomeing too detached or cold with current patients.
"just doesn't seem fair" about sums up the frustration of it all.
Thanks again.

it breaks my heart mac. I can't even begin to express the respect that I have for you and other caregivers. I just want to say thanks for doing what you do. I pray many good things come your way.

Thanks to all for thoughtfull responces, we are poisning ourselves for sure.
Add to that the money/greed of the pharmaceutical companies and thier sway with the government, no real end in sight.
Oh and thanks denialisback for adding the reference to Rick Simpson, I had been told awhile ago about the use of "hemp oil" in cancer treatment but had hit a wall. The google of Rick got me headed in right direction, as you point out he is using tincture of THC, not "hemp seed" oil.

think about this as a source for why people are getting cancer younger and younger. it seems that about 40 years ago something changed and started affecting people.
secondly think about this the more people get sick the more we rely on medicine to make us feel better. but have you ever thought about what was in your medicines, your vitamins? think about this all these chemicals and pills are made in factories. the goal of factories is to be efficient. they have to add small amounts of different chemicals to the powders and liquids and gases and such to make them conform to how we need to use them. what are these ingredients that people are regularly taking daily in unknown amounts depending on how many different medications they take. thickening agents, flow agents for powders. the sheer number of people who smoke cigs produce a large amount of carcinogens in the air we breath. that is what.

Well... i think doctors, hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industry needs that there be sick people. Its where they get their money (and survival) from. If there werent sick people, there wouldnt be doctors, nor hospitals, nor medicines (nor all the billions on profits it generates)...
