Hubert Horatio Humphrey, US Vice President (1911-1978)

The moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life -- the sick, the needy and the handicapped. -Hubert Horatio Humphrey, US Vice President (1911-1978)

Very true, but this doesn't equate to taking care of all their needs, but rather ensuring the structures necessary for the natural, organic supports that they need, i.e., enabling communities of mutual care.
