"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
The American Heart Association's "Go Red for Women" will kick-off on Friday nationwide. You are encouraged to wear red in an effort to draw attention to heart disease, which is women's greatest threat. Clemmons adds, "Women at times have forgotten themselves to take care of other people, so it's time we start taking care of ourselves."
I'm not convinced that women as a class sacrifice themselves for others more than men, but if the publicity campaign for heart disease will make women place a higher priority on preventing heart disease than preventing breast cancer (which gets a lot more press), go for it. posted by Sydney on
