I see an America populated with an increasing percentage of fat kids. You don't.

As you have been told repeatedly by myself and other posters, the CDC changed the standards for obesity rendering millions of more people obese. If you choose not to listen when you are supplied with information, I can't help you.

I see an America less able to deliver health care to most of its people than it was 10 years ago. You don't.

How come, if things are worse, they haven't changed that phoney number of "37 million uninsured" for 12 years?

If I'm correct I'll make a fortune and you won't.

I've already blown two fortunes and I have no intention of going through that again.
;O)

If I'm wrong perhaps you'll buy me a cup of coffee.

Knowing you, you'll bring an armed gang of Federal Marshalls and force me to buy coffee for the whole country.

I thought to demonstrate this with a chart showing average life-span by country (and in particular showing lifespan in Cuba which I'm told is equal to ours) but I was unable to come up with it in the time I have to spare.

Well, maybe next time you'll show up with charts and slides and congratulatory letters from Fidel and brand new pens in your pocket protector.

Catch ya later, comrade.

See means see. Use the old eye-balls. As you've been told repeatedly. (It also means see in a statistical sense but that is always highly debatable). I went to school in the '40s, '50s, and '60s. I remember very few fat kids and those who were were mostly husky, not obese. Nor was it a common sight - as it is today - to see women waddling rather than walking. You say your memories are different. Well then. Impasse.
