Godless, churchless, faithless lifestyle weighing on women?

In light of a study suggesting the lifespan of women has decreased, one conservative thinks she understands the problem and has a solution. Though women have historically lived longer than men, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that gap closing. And a new study, released last week by the journal Health Affairs, shows declining life expectancy for women in about 43 percent of the nation's counties, many in rural areas of the South and West. The researchers, David Kindig and Erika Cheng of the University of Wisconsin, reportedly looked at federal death data and other information for nearly all 3,141 U.S. counties over ten years and calculated what is sometimes called "premature death rates" for women age 75 and younger

Low and Middle Income Residents Fleeing Sacramento Bear Much of the Blame

Mar 10 2013 01:40 PM | Bluelikeme in American News

Low- and middle-income residents are fleeing the state. Sacramento's liberal policies may bear much of the blame.

During the Great Depression, some 1.3 million Americans—epitomized by the Joad family in John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath"—flocked to California from the heartland. To keep out the so-called Okies, the state enacted a law barring indigent migrants (the law was later declared unconstitutional). Los Angeles even set up a border patrol on the city limits. Soon the state may need to build a fence to keep latter-day Joads from leaving.
