I just keep asking myself how so many of these people became such sociopaths. When and where did so many get brainwashed Into this way of thinking? I read somewhere that a huge portion of the population value security over freedom.....they prefer to be taken care of in some way by the government and they will choose that over freedom. Maybe. When I was young people seemed to value freedom and all that goes with it....including the ever present possibility of failure. People weren't so fearful as now. There was a shift in our culture, but I'm not quite sure when it happened.
