18. There is a reason for smearing these SChip children...
by putting on a human face to the 'problem'-you expose their lies. And that is what they fear the most. This child is not in some 3rd world country, or the 12th child of a welfare queen. She is a child, like your child, or grandchild, or niece, or your child's playmate. She is innocent and has done nothing wrong other that have a health problem. If they can reduce this problem to just numbers-they know they can win because people don't get upset about numbers. But people do get upset about sick children that can't get needed health care in this country.

This is the same thing that they do will soldiers. No one cares much about the numbers. But let a soldier come back and tell the truth and demand answers....he is vilified as a phony soldier. Because people will listen to a soldier-or a parent that has lost a child. But numbers....no one really cares about number do they?
