It is important to include all people in the shared benifits, even if you don not agree with their life style or think it will cost to much. We have to remember that we all will continue to share the burdens of life, whether through the tragic loss of people we know, or the grieving of people we know when we did not know the loved one lost. The financial burdens are no different. They effect a persons in more ways than I would care to elaborate in this comment, however we have all seen the snowball effect of any situation. If we work now to bring equality to another level of our shared existence it will carry into other aspects of our lives. Forget for just one moment about the money, and think about the people involved. These are real lives, your neighbors and friends, the people we talk to, and work with every day. Lets all make the effort to share a burden instead of feeling relieved that we lucked out. The lives of many are in our hands.
