According to statistics, Average American citizens have life span shorter than their Western country peers. Is that mean that our food, and our health care, medical program not good enough in comparison to others? It is not so.
It is mixed elements. Some people might overuse drug, such as marijuana, cocaine. Some people might involve in gangs; and easily access to arms, such as hand guns, widespread shooting is the one of the biggest problem here. We should re-consider this problems which cause our lives to correct the wrong.

Well unfortunately the other countries have the same problems with their citizens as we have here! The one big difference is they ALL have free health care, here we are the leader of the world (or we used to be) and we don't have the best health care around! Go Figure!

My dear tdemex, you really mustn't go upsetting dear clorissa with other problems like those bad things in Russia, she tends to be a bit of a worrier my dear and then she just can't sleep and she's never going to find a nice young man like that is she dear if she ends up with bags under her eyes.
