In response to the breast cancer discussion, I think that breast cancer is becoming an increasingly more threatening issue and it sucks. My godmother has breast cancer and is getting treatment for it, and it scares me a lot considering how many women I know who have died from breast cancer versus the amount of women I personally know who've beaten it. My godmother isn't super young but she definitely isn't old enough for her life to be over and for a stupid disease to cut it short isn't fair at all. How is it that with all these technological breakthroughs and advancements and whatnot we still haven't found a cure for cancer? This may sound ignorant but it's sort of irritating!
As for the cameras at stoplights... stupid! I agree with Stacey! I absolutely HATE driving in snowy and icy weather, it scares the crap out of me, and stopping is the worst part. If it's snowing or raining outside and the light starts turning yellow there's no way in hell I'm braking because my car will most DEFINITELY slip and I will end up running that red light anyway. Cameras, while I can see the reason they're up there in the first place, are stupid because it's money that doesn't need to be spent. Not many people really run red lights and for those who do it's the police's job to stop that, not a camera. And what difference will putting a camera on one stoplight make? If you're going to put cameras up, put them on all the stoplights because then maybe they'll actually be effective in catching people who run red lights, but putting them up on like 1 out of 1,000 lights is just plain stupid.
