i think the problem is, as intuitive as that sounds, people are good at finding scapegoats and blaming others instead of looking in the mirror, and issues as large as those are so abstract at some point idk... i don’t know what the answer is exactly but i think it starts with ‘edu’ and ends with ‘cation’... just my observation....

but maybe you are right... i just shudder at how bad it would have to get for people to notice.

[edit] misspelling (thanks ipad)
