The sociologist came up with interesting data ...just like a psychiatrist may help with understanding emotional struggles.

But, when it comes to something as dreaded as cancer ...wouldn't you think that a physician would be more welcomed??

Yes, you'd want all the referrals necessary to get to the actually source of the problem ...to rid yourself of the problem, as soon as possible.

You certainly wouldn't want a politician to decide for you ...and I'm not going to get into a national health care system debate, but I will humor myself at this time with something Dad said: "Politicians are so crooked they can't lie straight in bed."

Not trying to pick on politicians either, but here is one more: "How can you tell if a politician is lying?  His lips are moving."

Obviously, we must think there is some good in some politicians, otherwise what hope would we have in going to the polls.  We have to identify what is important.  Mark Twain said: "A lie can run halfway around the world, while truth is still putting on its shoes."

We should be able to discern somewhat personal character ...and politicians are people.  We can see that some of them lie even when standing up.  But, many of us seem to not care so much about a lie unless it affects us directly, or I should say, offends us directly.

But, in the case of cancer ...we may want to believe the lie, while in denial, because we don't want to face the fact of the cancer. Yet, this concept applies to more than things we fear ...it seems true for some things we simply desire also, or things we desire not to change.
