"(Those in) lower socio-economic classes, and those with less education and wealth, are more likely to suffer from both self-reported illnesses such as depression and also from long-term conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.
'Wealth increases access to medical care and other material and psychosocial resources,' (!!) said Mauricio Avendano, of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
A U.S. study done in 2005 followed 478 Americans over nine years, before and after they became disabled, and found that wealth generally allowed 'substantially better well-being, and less sadness and loneliness.'"

"When three words, parted by a comma, are used to express one idea, then it’s a hendiatris. It is unlike hendiadys, where two words are used to express an idea (sound and fury, nice and loud). This figure of speech uses words that give off a certain common characteristic. For example: wine, women and song. These three point towards a certain lifestyle and also towards the character of the person who leads it.The word hendiatris comes from Greek meaning 'one through three.' "

"The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did.
The survey asked: "Do you think the use of torture against suspected terrorists in order to gain important information can often be justified, sometimes be justified, rarely be justified, or never be justified?""
