Compassionate Governance

Before we go to the polls on Tuesday, it may do well to consider the words of a long-ago politician of character:
 

“It was once said that 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 H. Humphrey
