Interesting post: I'm taking it from your opines that you are an 'I'm alright jack' type of person- I've invested lots of time,money and interest in many musical artists...and extend that to their passing.Ozzy gave me many years of happiness....his habits and somewhat neglect of parenting hasn't eclipsed my appreciation of his music. The people that maybe should be finding a cure for cancer are investing taxpayers money and power in unjust, evil activities.
Dont know what ' I'm alright jack' means...sorry.
I also have 'invested' time and money into various music artists and as I said I admire many musicians...I just dont get wrapped up in their lives or their passings.
I dont know that those ( scientists , researchers, etc,,) looking for cures to cancer and other problems are involved in evil /unjust activities....and I have no problem investing 'taxpayer money' into that if its legitimate. Hopefully in the end we all benefit. The problem is always people ,,,,,,not the motives/ incentives or looking for answers to problems.
