Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding.
Healthcare as a human right, it means that every child, no matter where you are born, should have access to a college or trade-school education if they so choose it, and I think no person should be homeless if we can have public structures and public policy to allow for people to have homes and food and lead a dignified life in the United States.
