No one doubts we have some of the most advanced medical technologies,
research, and facilities. But if you measure systems by life expectancy,
the United States, at 37th in the world for both men and women, is not
even close to having the best.

If you leave out the 20 to 30% of the US population with unhealthy
lifestyles (drugs, alcohol, violence, etc.), the numbers look quite
different. *Yes I know, it's really not fair to leave out all of those
democrats, but it is what it is.

So, if someone lives in a bad neighborhood, is a law-abiding citizen,
but is a victim of gun violence, it's that's person's fault? Or, if
all they can afford to buy is cheap food from the local, poorly
stocked store, it's their fault. Basically, that's what you're saying.

No D'Plume. It is all YOUR fault. YOUR fault for allowing the armed
person to prey on the law-abiding citizen due to economic strife or
what ever else you can blame on society to put the person into a
league of criminal activity due to desperate circumstances.

It is also YOUR fault that people can't control their poor eating
habits due to you not setting up education and health food services
for them. Not counting inviting them into your home and cooking for
them.

Poor D'Plume. You are a toad in society. You are not, and will not do
enough for the poor, helpless, and needy..

Trying to engage Ms. D'Parrot in an intelligent and reasoned debate is
an excercise in futility. Her mind is firmly made up and is not about
to be easily confused by the facts. That said, store owners in poor
neighborhoods, like store owners everywhere, know their customers and
stock what sells. If people are buying vegetables and dairy products,
they'll stock vegetables and dairy products. If people are buying
Hostess Twinkies and malt liquor, they'll stock that instead. It is a
tribute to our wonderfully enlightened policies that people can
actually use government food stamps to buy junk food, and it sells
very well.

So, basically you agree with your right-wing buddy's racist nonsense.
We get it Wayne. Now all we have to do is wait for John to tell you to
stop. I have a feeling it'll be a long wait, since he's a known liar.
