The old bigoted asshole got away with all of it. He died rich and comfortable at the expense of so many millions of others' misery. We can't rely on gods or faeries or whatever else to make it right. We have to repair the damage as best we can and stop it from happening again. WE do. There's no cosmic accountant waiting to balance the scales.

by calling God "she." I want to drive them nuts.

I presume we are all here because we don't expect divine providence but need to repair the social ills ourselves. It's why I am a Democrat and why I work for my progressive candidates.

punishment to our standards? I am a non-theist but would gladly convert for the mere promise that "Little Dick" Cheney would rot in hell. I am not a good person. I have a hard time forgiving. I think Georgie Porgie Bush, the less smart son, should live long enough for him to realize how his Poppy and Cheney (the son Poppy never had) manipulated him.

11. Adolescent Maternity Mortality: An Overlooked Crisis

http://www.advocatesforyouth.org/storage/advfy/documents/fsmaternal.pdf

Maternal mortality statistics underscore how societies have failed women, especially young women in
developing countries. As many as 529,000 women die each year from complications of pregnancy and
childbirth.1 Pregnancy is the leading cause of death for young women ages 15 through 19.2 The reproductive
health of adolescent women depends on biological, social, cultural, and economic factors. Programs must
provide education, family planning services, and pre- and postnatal care to reduce morbidity and mortality
among young women.
