What people say they believe in is likely connected, patriotically, to their doctrinal upbringing. Conduct is directly related to what people believe in. What people say they believe in, however, is incredibly not connected to their conduct. Put 100 women in the audience of an Oprah show with a few studs up on stage. Let the studs boast about how easily they can have their way with women . Listen to the women hoot and howl against them. Put the same 100 women in a singles club and collect data on how fast the studs get hooked up vs the decent and sensitive guys. The women will say, what they have been raised to say, that they would only give their attention to an honorably decent and sensitive guy. Their behavior matches their belief system. They don’t believe honorably decent and sensitive gentlemen are worthy of their attention. The exceptional women are those that believe the reverse. However, they all claim to be the exceptions. Its what they are taught to say. Exceptional people believe in and live by principles of honor and decency, without coersion. Laws and social mores are generally designed to encourage decent behavior; one goal being, to indoctrinate and impose decent behavior on people who would not choose it for themselves.
