I did not for one second think that the comment concerning 1900 tragic cancer deaths was anything but sarcastic and of course I instantly assumed that the writer was as disgusted as the next person at the thought that ANY rational human being would have thought that it WOULD be “a small price to pay”. The thing that amazes me continuously, is how many folks there are in our midst that just don’t get it when it comes to verbal banter. These are typically the same folks you can’t discuss anything around because they are so incapable of refraining until they THINK, either that or they are just incapable of thinking to begin with.

Only 1900 deaths. I for one do NOT agree that it is a small price to pay, and the fact that you believe this is acceptable displays apathy at its greatest. You view the 1900 as a number, but you also must realize that cancer is a painful and torturing process, and the lack of medical advances and treatment options that were present back then would only exacerbate the problem. Maybe you haven’t clearly thought this through?
