I write this on the news that most of you most likely know a portion of. Today our world lost two men who personified class, former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow and Yankee Legend Bobby Murcer. From what I’ve seen Tony was a true class act, never one to talk down to a reporter or to make himself the center of the story, he came out day after day with a smile on his face, despite having to deal with his cross. Much like Tony, Bobby Murcer was truly one of the nice guys our world lacks today, never one to turn down a fan, Bobby would spend his time talking to anyone who approached him, whether it be at a mall or a restaurant, Bobby knew what many of today’s athletes didn’t, the fans make you who you are and you should repay them if you can.

In the late 1990s, after having a relative die of cancer, Bobby became an anti-tobacco advocate, he had been a user almost his whole life and now was going to try to protect those who were still young enough to save themselves. Since his diagnosis he has done all he could to help promote the need for everyone to not sit back when they feel something is wrong, if you think your sick he said to go get yourself checked.

For many of us cancer is a problem that has affected us in someway. Whether it’s a family member, a friend, or even a beloved pet, cancer takes away what we hold dear. Yet despite the odds of getting cancer, 1 in every 3 Americans will be diagnosed, our government looks the other way. Is it because it’s not sexy enough? Our government has no problem throwing billions upon billions of dollars at AIDS. Or is it because due to the large scale in which it hits we’ve become too complacent with it.
