Blast, actually I meant over the last 100-200 years. When the CDC says the cancer rates are down, it just probably means a lot more people have died and are no longer in the figures.

Government figures are different than what we tend to think. When they say unemployement is down, what they really mean is that more people have run out of unemployement benefits and are living under bridges.

So what's wrong with cholera? If it was good enough for our ancestors, it should be good enough for us.
