Another Famous Texas Bicyclist for Peace
Left I on the News points us to this surprising quote from a Texan well-liked around the world:
"The biggest downside to a war in Iraq is what you could do with that money. What does a war in Iraq cost a week? A billion? Maybe a billion a day? The budget for the National Cancer Institute is four billion. That has to change.Quite a statement for someone thrust into the world sports limelight. Although something tells me this particular quote isn't going to get a lot of play in the media.
"Polls say people are much more afraid of cancer than of a plane flying into their house or a bomb or any other form of terrorism. It is a priority for the American public."
- Lance Armstrong, speaking after his victory yesterday in the Tour de France

So we can duplicate the NCI operating budget with less than a week or so of war costs. Well you would think a remark from a popular celebrity cancer survivor would carry a little weight. I agree that this remark will not receive much coverage. This idea of "liberal media bias" is just crap.
This will get buried by conservative media types much like Rick Santorum and his idiotic comments linking liberalism to the child abuse scandal in the Catholic Church.
How much of this will go on before people wake up and smell the oil.
Vive la Lance!
Thank you!
