My brother is a "conservative". We have decided to avoid discussing politics at family gatherings in order to keep things pleasant. He struggles with this, however.
Yesterday, my daughter.....who is his favoriite niece, was talking about a freind of hers who recently passed away after a half-year fight with cancer. She told him that she heard that we would probably find a cure for cancer before long.....expressing hope for the future.
Well, he exclaimed, " I hope not".
My daughter was rocked. She asked him why he felt that way. Her voice trembled.
He said that we don't have enough money to support our population as it is and we can't afford to have cancer cured.
Not sure things will ever be the same between them.
I'm calling total fucking bullshit on this
