tanyam926, I know what you mean! Some people can't wrap their heads around "Christian" and "liberal" being used in the same sentence. I've volunteered in the past with the Catholic Workers, who are even farther left than that...

Parents in third world countries would KILL to be able to vaccinate their children.  As someone who volunteers in Haiti, I see children and adults dying of typhoid and there is a vaccine for it, but little to no access.  Very very...
