Let's Hear it for Social Democracy

To me it just makes sense, that many people living together, like say 300 million, need some way of making it OK for human needs to be met at a basic level.  I mean, how often do 300 million cannibalistic lions get along without slicing it all up?   When you have a certain number of old people, little babies, and people who've lived longer than they would on their own in a jungle, you need to make some efforts to ensure that some of the quicksand is paved over.  We're not trying to take your toys away, we're just saying that life doesn't have to be this dirty, low and cruel.  Please find your heart and figure out what it is for.
