How many elderly people feel left out of family celebrations, cast aside and longing each day for a little love?

States kill when they apply the death penalty, when they send their people to war, or when they carry out extra-judicial or summary executions. They can also kill by omission, when they fail to guarantee to their people access to the bare essentials for life.
