"It was in Bogota, one gray afternoon, that I read the following passage: Where a great proportion of the people are suffered to languish in helpless misery, that country must be ill-policed and wretchedly governed: a decent provison for the poor is the true test of civilization.—Gentlemen of education, he observed, were pretty much the same in all countries; the condition of the lower orders, the poor especially, was the true mark of national discrimination."
~~ from The Old Patagonian Express by Paul Theroux
