The latest report from UNICEF shows that Netherlands and Sweden and Denmark and Spain take care of their children well, but Britain and the US come in at the bottom of the list.
They measure things like health, life expectancy, access to education, problems with dangerous behavior, nutrition, etc.
The results show that caring for children in a culture has no relationship to the country's relative wealth.
Do you agree?

I agree with you 100%. It is absolutely shameful that the "most powerful nation in the world" has no socialized medicine. The Government, esp. under King Bush's reign, is FAILING FUTURE GENERATIONS. We will be paying for Iraq forever. And we have really screwed up that country. Please help make Senator Barack Obama our next president. (And if he doesn't win the nomination, please support Senator Clinton). They CARE and are AWARE of the hazards facing our children and youth. They will do something about this. What has King Bush done?
