theres more homeless out there than the number of people cancer kills each year....yet we do next to nothing for these people....why is noone bitching about that?
homeless funding could be cut and there would be no outcry...why because they simply dont have a voice...famous people and people with power get cancer, thats why so much money goes towards it...people with power arent homeless so they dont care.
I would hope the gov't would do something to help prevent or stop a disease that kills or harms it's people

Homeless situation is crappy, I agree. You also have to remember how much of our aid is focused outside of our country. I'm just waiting for you to come back with something that is equal to um... death.. Top illnesses you hear about are Cancer and Aids. The deaths from the two far outweight deaths from anything you've come with so far. I don't think you can really get more serious than death.
