There are millions of cancer survivors. Just as there are many millions more people out there that survive the common cold (and quite a few that don’t), survive a broken bone (and quite a few that don’t), meningitis (and some who don’t). By now you are getting my drift, at least I hope so.

Why, as a society, are we so protective or irrational over cancer survivors and not the others? I survived another go-round with my teenager last night, and so did she. Why isn’t that making the news? Why are we not filling the local news casts with reports and interviews from the millions of other cancer survivors? Are they not just as important as the one in the story you cite?

I find the lack of a basic understanding of the laws that TSA operates under in this forum “disgusting”. And I would make a new and specific thread for it here, but I strongly suspect it would get bounced to OMNI in a New York second.
