        Suicide bus bombing in China, reportedly by 42-year-old farmer with
        terminal lung cancer pissed off at lack of health services
        Warning:  Graphic images
        \_ So reading articles about this, many mentioned the "rising cost of
           health care" and how health care cost increases are outpacing
           salary increases.  This is true in the US too.  My question is: are
           health care costs rising faster than the quality of care provided?
           If so, why?  If not, is it just a case of our expectations of
           quality rising faster than what we can afford to spend?  --dbushong

8/15    Do LCD monitors emit cancer-causing radiation like CRTs in the old
        days?  Wikipedia doesn't mention it.  Thx.
        \_ CRTs didn't emit cancer-causing radiation either.

        Sun Screens may be accelerating cancer. Ok, so plasticware in
        microwaves gives cancer. Cellphone gives cancer. Too much
        chlorine in the water gives cancer. What else is next,
        wearing cotton and eating wheat/corn gives cancer?
        \_ Eating too much soy gives you cancer. -dans

        \_ If you can see the white light, wouldn't you get exposed to
           enough deadly radiation to die?
           \_ Dying from cancer at age ninety-three, and more than six decades
              after the blasts, isn't exactly early death.

1/15    Now that Steve Jobs and Patrick Swayze are sick with
        pancreatic cancer, is pancreatic cancer going to become
        a cause celebre and get lots of research funding,
        far beyond what is actually justified by the magnitude
        of the actual problem?
        \_ they have Elton John doing benefits, not Jimmy Buffet.
