True security and stability comes through investment in and care for every person in your community.

If you extend "community" to include everyone in the world, then it will be clear that we all need to care for each other in order to cultivate and enjoy prosperity, peace and harmony.

It also stands to reason that each government should work in the interests not only of its consituents, but also in the interests of cooperation and constructive action with other members of the world community.

Every person -- and animal, and nautral resource -- must be afforded the same importance and protection from abuse, misuse and exploitation.

Just something I'm riffing on after responding to a campaign to reject the latest federal budget plan.
