I wonder if a thread about cancer being cured would receive this much attention?
I get your point, and I know you were trying to make a point about how some things just aren't that important.

But I am sure that such a thread would have been read and we would have silently celebrated and maybe not commented, or probably not commented on twice or three times... because it wouldn't have been controversial. I am sure that it would have affected us all since not a one of us hasn't had cancer or had someone we loved have cancer.

This is something that is challenging to most of us, meeting people here is this diverse place for the first time so terribly different than we are used to. For the chair holders who are used to doing what they do and to the gentle souls who just walk away.
