UNITED

One for All. . . All for One. . .
When is the last time you heard someone use that phrase?
It is sometimes used when someone wants you to fight a war, to join a team, or to put forth extraordinary effort to achieve a goal.
United suggests community and concern for the welfare of all.
Most of us want to be part of a united country.
So what attributes would each citizen have in a united country?
How about these:
- each one is well fed;
- each one is well clothed;
- each one is well housed;
- each one is well treated when ill, sick, or injured;
- each one is skilled to her or his capacity;
- each one has the opportunity to work at a wage that pays for the rest.
Now ask yourself:
Why is this untrue in the United States?
