         A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.

                     Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer

                      England                      40%

                      Canada                       43%


                     Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool)

                      England                      14

                      Canada                       18


                     Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who
say they are
in "excellent health":

                      U.S.                            12%

                      England                       2%

                      Canada                       6%


                     And now for the last statistic:


                     National Health Insurance?

                      U.S.                             NO

                      England                     YES

                      Canada                      YES

                     Check this last set of statistics!!

                     The percentage of each past president's cabinet
who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a
government job.  Here are the percentages.


                     T. Roosevelt....................          38%

                     Taft..................................          40%

                      Wilson ...........................          52%

                     Harding...........................          49%

                     Coolidge.........................          48%

                     Hoover............................          42%

                     F. Roosevelt...................          50%

                     Truman...........................          50%

                     Eisenhower................ ....          57%

                     Kennedy.........................          30%

                     Johnson..........................          47%

                     Nixon..............................          53%

                     Ford................................          42%

                     Carter.............................          32%

                     Reagan...........................          56%

                     GH Bush.........................          51%

                      Clinton ..........................          39%

                     GW Bush........................          55%

                     Obama.....................                  8%


                     This helps to explain the incompetence of this
administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!

                     That's right!  Only eight percent---the least, by
far, of the
last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?

                     How can the president of a major nation and
society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has
never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff
and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."  They should
have been in an employment line.

If an idiot cannot produce then you make a boss out of him or elect him to office.

You're being unfair.

There was that couple of weeks in the summer where he dished out ice cream at Baskins Robbins that one time...

Ivan,

You really should not take mass emails at face value.

         A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very
interesting statistics

Article title and date of publication, please.  i will go ahead and help you out here, there was no such article.

 from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.

         

There is no "United Nations International Health Organization".


You know, Ivan, if the facts were with you all you would not have to post prevarication.

[Pepsi]

I am very suspect of Investors Business Daily after seeing some of the nonesense they have produced in the past.

to John's point, ivan can you link us to the "United Nations International Health Organization" web site?

[IM2]

ivan,

The government is not a for profit industry. You don't need to have been in the so called private sector. Again who has determined that only work in the private sector is real business?

Idiots working in the private sector. We are here because of the disaster created by private sector idiots.

You see nutjob, there is such a thing as not for profit BUSINESSES. They run by the same rule that every other business does. The only difference is that any profit returns to the program(s) they are running, or into contingency funds, not to the pockets of those who manage, or to stockholders.

Ahh IBD, the publication which claimed, "People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless,"

It doesn’t take Stephen Hawking to figure this one out.

If Hawking wasn't such a pussy, he'd get right up out of that chair and walk!!

Bullshit aside, I have to laugh at this one:

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who
say they are
in "excellent health":

                      U.S.                            12%

                      England                       2%

                      Canada                       6%

In the U.S. what kind of health care do seniors have?

(Average Male/Female) Life expectancy for people aged 65+
                  U.S.          18.85 years
                  UK            18.75 years
                  Canada      19.8 years

So (suspending disbelief at Ivan's chain letter), assume both sets of data to be correct; OECD figures show the average positive thinking US senior citizen self-diagnosing "excellent health" for a full 36 days longer than their negative thinking UK counterpart, before they are both dead. Leaving the average Canadian senior citizen an extra 346 days in which to answer the question "How you feeling?" with "It could be worse."

Archbishop Chaput urges respect for life amid high disabled abortion rate

By Michelle Bauman
Washington D.C., Jan 22, 2012

(CNA/EWTN News).- An 80 percent abortion rate of those with disabilities shows the need to restore a fundamental respect for human dignity in America, said Archbishop Charles J. Chaput of Philadelphia.
 
He underscored that the plight of disabled babies highlights “a struggle within the American soul” that will shape the future of the nation.

“These children with disabilities are not a burden; they’re a priceless gift to all of us,” the archbishop said. “They’re a doorway to the real meaning of our humanity.”
 
Archbishop Chaput delivered the keynote address at the thirteenth annual Cardinal O’Connor Conference on Life on Jan. 22.

The conference, which was held at Georgetown University, took place one day before the March for Life, at which hundreds of thousands of Americans annually gather in the nation’s capital to protest abortion and show their support for the dignity of all human life.

“Abortion kills a child, it wounds a precious part of a woman’s own dignity and identity, and it steals hope,” the archbishop said. “That’s why it’s wrong. That’s why it needs to end. That’s why we march.”
 
He warned that without a strong foundation of faith and morals, America becomes “alien and hostile” to its founding ideals. This threat is clearly demonstrated in the country’s treatment of the poor and disabled, which the archbishop said “shows what we really believe about human dignity.”

In his talk, Archbishop Chaput focused on children with Down syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects development, appearance and cognitive function, and can cause other health problems.
 
He observed that prenatal testing is now able to detect up to 95 percent of pregnancies that have a strong risk of Down syndrome, and more than 80 percent of the unborn babies who are diagnosed with the disorder are aborted.

These babies are killed because of a flaw in their chromosomes that is “neither fatal nor contagious, but merely undesirable,” he said. 

The archbishop lamented the growing tendency of medical professionals to emphasize the possible defects of Down syndrome, thus steering expectant mothers of children with the disorder towards abortion.

Parents and doctors should be realistic about the challenges, understanding that raising a disabled child will involve “some degree of suffering,” he said. However, they should also see the potential and beauty of children with special needs, realizing that no child is perfect.
 
Archbishop Chaput noted that today, individuals with Down syndrome have longer life expectancies than ever before and can generally “enjoy happy, productive lives.”
 
“The real choice in accepting or rejecting a child with special needs is between love and unlove; between courage and cowardice; between trust and fear,” he said.   

This is a choice that must be faced on both an individual level and as a society, he added, emphasizing that “God will demand an accounting” of how we have used our freedom.
 
If we really “take God seriously,” we will work to uphold the sanctity of human life and dignity of sexuality in our daily lives, he said.

This means that public officials should live out their Catholic faith in the laws that they support; doctors in the procedures they perform and the drugs they prescribe; and citizens in their actions on public issues, he explained. 

He praised the work of people and organizations who aid those with disabilities, recognizing in them “an invitation to learn how to love deeply and without counting the cost.”
 
Archbishop Chaput urged those present at the conference not to be afraid as they persevere in being an apostle to those around them.

“Fear is beneath your dignity as sons and daughters of the God of life,” he said. “Never give up the struggle that the March for Life embodies,” he added. “Your prolife witness gives glory to God.” 

Although changing the culture is “a huge task,” we must recognize that we are being called by God to do so, the archbishop said. “He’s waiting, and now we need to answer him.”

People such as Prof Hawking who was not diagnosed until he was 21?  That is amazingly disturbing.  How many 21 year olds have been aborted?

... and the Catholic Church would have had him burned at the stake for his beliefs.

Hawking regarded the concept of Heaven as a myth, stating that there is "no heaven or afterlife" and that such a notion was a "fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
