That's pretty cool. It's called follow the leader.

Don't fret though, the "progressives" are working hard on reversing that trend.

Don't worry. No one cares that you don't know the meaning of certain words.

Interesting how even the poorest countries have seen almost a doubling of lifespan, even if their incomes have stayed low.

People like you do more damage to conservatism, than liberals ever could. Which is pathetic from whichever perspective you look at it.

Edit: I forgot to say that what I love about this video, as well as the video itself, is that people on the left and people on the right both think it bolsters their posiiton.

It doesn't matter who it bolsters, or who thinks it bolsters, or if it bolsters at all. It show's the stunning growth of wealth and life expectancy since 1800. Somehow, someway humanity was awakened, but I keep forgetting what happened right around in the late 1700's.

Hmm. Could it be that the medical field actually knows what it's doing? I wonder.

I never sugested otherwise. I just found it interesting that even the poorest nations were able to benefit from advances in medicine.
