approach to health care in this country: doctors shouldn't provide information or advice about sexual orientation, abortion, or guns because the USA is a "Christian" nation and God knows best about these things. God and guns = good; Gays = bad.

thought:
"Every Communist must
grasp the truth: Political power grows
out of the barrel of a gun."
- Chairman Mao Zedong: The Little Red Book (1964)
"It is a devastating reflection on
our moral health that guns are
not rarer than gold, and harder
to find than peace in the
present gun-infested misery
of the world."
- A.C. Grayling, in
The Reason of Things (2001)
