From Chris:
"[I]n states and countries where there is a big gap between the
incomes of rich and poor, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse,
obesity and teenage pregnancy are more common, the homicide rate is
higher, life expectancy is shorter, and children's educational
performance and literacy scores are worse. ... [W]e need to find
ways of rooting greater equality more deeply in our society. "
