Whether it’s London, England or London,
Ky., people tend to get pissed off when they find out their children
have been banned from one day entering the pearly gates of heaven.

disturbed doctors and health activists: Younger people are making up a

Following a national trend, Ohio’s
minorities have the lowest levels of health care coverage, according to a

diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2007 was African-American, making it by far
the race or ethnicity most heavily plagued by the disease.
