FALLBROOK – Certain types of cancer are more likely to strike certain types of people than others. For example, while men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, women are far more likely to develop the disease. But just because a person’s risk of developing cancer is low, that does not make that person immune from the disease. As a result, it’s important that men and women take steps to lower their cancer risk. One of the more effective ways a person can lower his or her... Full story

A GOP mantra is that: “government over regulation and over taxation are stifling business growth and job creation.” Government should just get out of the way. The GOP fails (or refuses) to recognize that the “right” to establish and operate a business is actually a privilege granted by government. And with that privilege comes responsibilities: responsibilities to government, customers, and employees. Accordingly, government has not only the right but also the obligation to regulate and oversee businesses to ensure those o...

I’m sure he got adopted b...
