My weekly LTTE re:Childhood poverty

[w8liftinglady]

Texas is the highest ranking....when it comes to childhood poverty and hunger.
Texas has the highest rate of uninsured children in the nation,with 20.2 % lacking coverage,compared to 11% nationally.More than 80% of uninsured children have at least one working parent.More than one out of every 4 children in Texas lives in poverty.There are an estimated 137,500 homeless children in Texas alone.
As we retreat behind the walls of our well-groomed subdivisions,there is an rising epidemic of hungry,of homeless and of hopeless children.As we continue to funnel our Nation's treasury into a hopeless cesspool of war,wouldn't that money be better spent bringing hope to these future generations?Have we lost our humanity?

1. What's your publishing success rate Dear?

I have good runs and I'm currently in a dry spell. I write two papers about once a month, I try to pick the topics carefully. I got everything published late last year but haven't had anything published this year.
