   @evan none of the above, but how well everyone *knows* how well everyone else is doing.

   You care? You know.
   If a class genuinely does not care about another class, that is sickness.
   We don't have to succeed, but we do have to try, not give lip service. Not donate and forget.

     @travisfw So, a society where everyone is sick, miserable, poor, and endangered, but everyone knows it, is better than a society where everyone has their physical, emotional and psychological needs met, but they don't have access to their neighbours' tax forms and medical records?

     That doesn't sound right to me.

     @evan access to tax and medical? I don't know why you're saying that. My point is that the society can implement various measures to get the numbers higher, but if you don't know what your neighbor's life is actually like, statistics are not a good measure of the health of a society.
