Hmm. Without context, I can't ascertain how you feel about this exactly. Besides bothered. Seriously. Upset by the racial divide? The fact that it's high? The prematurity aspect? Or just in general. What's going on n that thoughtful head of yours?

to expunge just a bit more without going on a tirade...i'm horrified by this number because of america's current state of "we're the bosses of the world" attitude. all of the items you pointed out; racial divide, prematurity aspect, too high for a developed nation...i just feel that this is a nasty little secret that no one wants to deal with, so it's NOT being dealt with. the amount of women in america that continue to die in childbirth scares me too, but again, america's nasty little secret. i know it has an endless amount to do with the horrific state of healthcare coverage in this country, and that makes me angry as well.
a country begins and ends with it's children. if no more children, no more country...pretty simple.
why this isn't being talked about more, i don't understand. i was appalled.

Thank you - Im glad I asked. I sometimes don't see things that way and it's good to be educated to it.

Funny, I am amazed at how you and I see things differently yet don't conflict over it. I hadn't thought of it the same - but I can totally SEE what you are saying. Big AHA moment.

I, of course, was totally interpreting it differently. Like a little dumb sheep!
