Going Out On A Limb

Human decency or the "should" factor, what is it all about? It seems to me...

1. All humans "should" have potable water.

2. All humans "should" have sufficent daily caloric intake.

3. All humans "should" have shelter.

4. All humans "should" have access to difinitive health care.

Only 4 simple things - that I believe - if they were at the top of the "social agenda", our entire species would benefit.

The recent health care debate is sour in my stomach. Arguments about coverage for "illegal" imigrants are insipid. If a human being needs medical attention- GIVE it to them! Don't ask them for their green card - for christs sake! Ya wanna call it socialism, ok fine, call it communism- hell call it terrorism if you goddamn well please but give people the medical attention they need. 4+ ... These 4 things, + a few more after we get these fundamenals. Things like- education, democracy-free speech- due process ect... But 1st we see to it everyone has water-food-shelter and health care. We can work out the details of other things that need put on the agenda as we go along, but until we prioritize thse 4 basics needs for all humans, we have fucked up priorties and they will come back to bite us in the ass. 1st things 1st.
