Did you know...

1. Sanctity of Marriage...

43% of first marriages end in divorce.
60% of second marriages end in a break-up.
75% of later marriages end in a break-up.

2. Many of those who oppose Universal Health Care in the US brag that we already have the best health care system in the world. But -

The rank of the United States among the leading 19 industrialized nations in preventing deaths with timely access to professional health care: 19.

3. Many conservatives in the US love to prattle on about stopping crime and punishing law-breakers. But -

There are 2,387 juveniles in the U.S. serving life snetences with no parole. In Israel, the only other country that sentences juveniles to life terms, there are 7.

(Perhaps folks in the U.S. are just more violent.)
