basics

At this early stage, it seems right  lay down some basics.
In an civilised society, everyone should have equal access to:
education, with no-one predestined to receive inferior education because of economic or social status;
health case, with no-one predestined to receive inferior care because of economic or social status;
the law, with no-one predestined to receive inferior legal support because of economic or social status;
secure and adequate housing;
adequate food of a healthy and nourishing kind.
The fact that no society is even within touching distance of even one of these basics is a melancholy commentary on the societies to which we subscribe.
