Isn't it kind of odd being told that wealthier is healthier? Isn't that sort of like "galley slaves have unfulfilling lives."

Interesting how I read "The Celebration of Life and the Culture of Death" on the same day as this:
"Kay Warren: Puppies Aren't People"

via
Scot McKnight's "Jesus Creed" blog:
http://blog.beliefnet.com/jesuscreed/2009/04/kay-warrens-controversy-now-at.html#more

where there are some intense discussions on both sites.

I find it particularly fascinating that so many people have trouble nowadays in prioritizing humans over animals. What does this say about our culture?
