At least Pearson (the HR person) didn’t respond to the question with, “I don’t really recall.” :)

On a related note, could someone tell me if I’m reading this right?

1. NIH seems to be saying that we are spending less on cancer research than we spend in one month in Iraq.

2. The American Cancer Society seems to be saying that 1/2 million people will die of cancer this year, and millions more will survive only with constant treatment. The 1/2 million deaths is 166 times the number of victims of September 11.

3. It appears that the increasing rates of cancer are not some spontaneous eruption from deep inside the human system, but largely induced by our environment.

So again, the CEO president gets an F for failure to protect the American people from a threat that’s actually WORSE than Bin Laden.
