    cool….. as I get older I realize that a priority is spending money on medical research. Stuff is starting to break down and I seem to need medications more frequently which makes me think that I hope our priorities change to support science, seems better than the crap we spend money on now and will impact us all in the future (I do agree that we gotta die of something but I would prefer it is not cancer at age 60)… or the darn flu.
