Why the Occupy Movement is Good for Our Health

[PETRUS]

"According to researchers Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, more equal societies outperformed less equal ones in fifteen key ways:"

(among them)

"PHYSICAL HEALTH: People in more equal societies live longer, a smaller proportion of children die in infancy, and self-rated health is better."

"EDUCATION: Children do better at school in more equal societies."

"SOCIAL MOBILITY: There is more social mobility in more equal societies."

"VIOLENCE: Homicide rates are lower and children experience less violence in more equal societies."

3. Not to mention I feel great since OWS came on the scene

I feel enthusiasm and hope for the first time since Bush was selected by the Supreme Court. It was a very long and very anxious decade. More often than not I had a hard knot of despair in my stomach. All that is gone. I feel good and that has to be better for my health. I think I'm not alone. Lots of people are feeling healthier. I consider myself part of the 99%. I created my avatar to show how I feel.
