The Omnipotent Hedgehog

"I feel compelled to comment on this. With the government telling us what a great nation we are, and how we are God's favorite or some such non-sense like that, I wonder what kind of spin they'll put on this. Basically, it's the same old, same old. If you are lucky enough to born to white family that can afford insurance, you probably going to be okay. If not, oh well.

'The report, which analyzed data from governments, research institutions and international agencies, found higher newborn death rates among U.S. minorities and disadvantaged groups. For African-Americans, the mortality rate is nearly double that of the United States as a whole, with 9.3 deaths per 1,000 births.'

I can't help but find this an obscenity for a nation that prides itself so on it's Christian ethics and morality. A nation that sees itself fit to impose it's will on the rest of the world. We don't feed our starving, we don't educate our children, we don't provide shelter for our homeless, and we don't provide adequate medical care unless you can afford health insurance. Yep, our Christian practices and religiosity must really make Jesus and his Dad smile.
