Re: "think those numbers are misleading." National mean averages are national mean averages. Life Span is life span. (Not a lot to 'fudge' there in the numbers....) "Many of those nations that are far better then us SEVERELY restrict immigration. We have a high number of Blacks and Latinos that often do not have a long life span due to poor health and habits. this brings our numbers down." Did you just hear yourself there? (Or mis-speak?) You are aware, aren't you, that 'white people' are not any more an 'original population' around these United States then any other racial group you'd care to point to...? "...I bet if you went to a midwestern state we would look a lot better. jdn" Better then what? The United States of America? That is what the numbers discuss... national averages.... (So, if we have a low score on the metric of 'life span' for our peer group of developed nations, and we do..., then it is a 'national' reflection.)
