I actually looked into / read up on this often cited myth about BG. Actually, what they say is true is that the reason people in 3rd world countries have too many children is because the children will die. If you improve the health of the countries they will not want to have so many children (just so one or two will survive). Also, by merely educating and providing opportunity for women you can decrease population.

After a certain point it doesn't really matter, the dollar amount is beyond relevance.

He isn't the owner of the local GMC dealership.

You have a point.

I'd rather be rich and divorced than flat broke and divorced.

Money can buy you good health treatment but not health. Steve Jobs would testify to that if he could.

Sometimes good health treatment definitely can result in good health.
Unfortunately we haven't yet discovered how to treat metastatic cancers....very sad.
