Quote of the Day

"You know when you're a kid and you're growing up and you hear there'll be a cure for this and a cure for that, and who's in charge of that? You would think with the possibilities especially now we have, with all the technology, ... and the $100 billion that government and the private sector put into this stuff every year, you'd think that there'd be a Department of Cures, a Secretary of Cures. But there isn't."
