One Small Thought

One smalll thought
About this life....and who runs it:


It would seem to me that

The moral test of any government
Is how it treats those who are in the Dawn of Life:
Their c'hildren...
How it treats those who are in the Twilight of Life:
Their Elderly.....
And how it treats those who are in the Shadows of Life:
Their Sick
Their Needy
Their Disabled
And Their Handicapped......

How are WE doing
So far......
Yeah,
I thought so.....
