Office of Men's Health "More Money Down a Rathole"

	posted by Scott on Tuesday March 06, @04:29PM from the news dept.
	Joseph Farah, a writer for WorldNetDaily, doesn't like government programs. While he is entitled to these views, he has chosen to do a lot of harm to the efforts to create an Office of Men's Health by mocking it and calling it a "rathole" that money is being wasted on. Regardless of your views on libertarianism, men's health is in such a sorry state that we can't afford to miss out on opportunities to help stop the crisis. Please e-mail Farah at: jfarah@worldnetdaily.com and let him know that if he's going to complain about government social programs, that targeting men's health issues is extremely unfair given the enormous gender disparities in health and lifespan - disparities which, in all likelihood, will end up affecting his own life.

In your recent editorial rant, "Republicans being Republicans, again" (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=21944 ) you said that concern for men's health is "more money down a rathole." Did you you know that white women live 12 years longer than black men? Why do you think that is? Do you think that it might be that women have numerous government programs that cost hundreds of millions of dollars annually? Where were you when they were creating all of these (women only) "ratholes?" When men attempt to get just ONE office to address what could be considered to be a national health crisis, or disgrace, depending upon your point of view, you throw a temper tantrum and claim it is just a fiction invented by the "the same people who are still trying to persuade you that global warming is real?" Men have a higher death rate than women do for every single one of the ten leading causes of death in this country. One out of every five American men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Men are twice as likely to die of heart disease--the number one killer. In addition, four times as many men commit suicide as women, that the victims of violent crime are 75% male, that 98% of the people who work in the most dangerous jobs in this country are men, and that 94% of people who die in the workplace are men. Perhaps you feel that fathers, husbands, brothers and sons don't deserve love or respect, just like the spoiled white women who are the majority of feminists. Maybe you aren't really a man, but one of those sensitive new-age guys (S.N.A.G.) who try to get laid by showing their compassion to women while bashing other men?
