Absolutely agree. Think of the difference between East and West Germans after reunification. And it doesn't take long - just a generation or two. It's frightening.

I have come to the conclusion, after watching adolescence become more and more extended and the devaluation of what used to be a desirable condition, maturity, is that that people don't grow up unless they have to. If someone (parents) or something (government) will take care of you and protect you, why bother? Then, as you say, you become a barnyard animal waiting for your daily feed. And when the rug gets pulled out from under you, you don't have the wherewithal to take care of yourself. If you know you can depend on yourself, you can survive a crisis. If not, well....
