Natural selection & cut-throat values went out years ago for a reason.
As civilization grew, it was found that the supposed "weaker" of the species
also had something of value to contribute, if given the chance.
This is a more individualistic value-structure, self-centered.
A more community oriented value-structure helps those in need.
So sooner or later, they will contribute to the community too.
This is not to say that it is exceptable for them to not try to contribute or support themselves.
Only those who are healthier, either physically or socially, except
this solution,
well it's amazing how fast their tune changes when
it is THEY who become the one who needs help.
It is the power of the community, and less vicious values,
that have allowed us to build what we have today.
Otherwise, we'd still be in the Dark Ages.
