"The measure of a civilization’s advancement is its capacity to insulate
its people from the cruelty of nature. Right now, Americans don’t seem
to be dedicated to that principle. Civilizations build public roads,
baths, aqueducts, and later transportation, healthcare, and education
into the fabric of society, as givens. Instead of seeing the poor as
deserving of discomfort, civilizations see all human beings as deserving
of essential human dignity. The more a civilization can spread these
basic human rights and freedoms through the world, the more advanced the
civilization."
