Jimmy Carter’s statement that race has entered the debate in America over setting up a comprehensive health care system reminds me of a link I meant to give you.

This is a brilliant insight from the normally quirky Maureen Dowd in the New York Times.

It tells us much that perhaps some of us never new about race in America, and the rest of us are in danger of forgetting.

Don’t miss it, I did.
