Its a process. A new generation that grows knowing things work. Versus a past generation that grew up seeing things not working. The new generation will not accept corruption. Inefficiencies that the past generation tought ist was the norm. I learned that reading European history where the during feudalism the author compared the norm as akin to a modern prison. Where men trying to kee thmesleves alive under the boot of the feudal lord.

"The Teahouse of the August Moon" you will see Japanese behaving as African. (It has Marlon Brando cast as Jpanese interpreter!!!) A satire on America's very own drive of a world changer: One year after world war II ended. We who know only the stereotype of the worker making Hondas do not know the Japanese of the past. There is a novel. A film and below is the play plot. In scene 2, Fisby is delayed in his departure for Tobiki when an entire clan of local people, including a grandmother, daughter, grandchildren, and family goat, among others, crowd onto the jeep with their belongings, expecting a ride to the village. Against the officers’ protests, they remain on the jeep for the duration of the journey. ACT 3 shows wayo African style: Colonel Purdy arrives unexpectedly. McLean and Fisby are immediately chastised for misusing the building materials intended for the schoolhouse and for marketing the liquor. journey. Purdy orders that the teahouse be torn down and the brandy distilleries destroyed. Sakini, however, informs Fisby that the villagers have cleverly moved and hidden both the teahouse and the distilleries, only giving the impression of having destroyed them. Colonel Purdy then receives word that the village is to be presented as an example of successful democratization and instructs Fisby to restore the teahouse and distilleries. answers.com

100 years ago Germans sold children by the road side. Would get some money, get rid of one mouth to feed and get the kid to survive if he was strong enough. It was in Bavaria, the catholic poorer part of Germany that was very underdeveloped as compared with the Protestant northern Germany. The son of those kids fought WWII. Today we have those Germans you know about. After WWII ended, the Bavarians got their revenge. Industry moved to the south where the ignorant, less educated Bavarians and accepted indutry with opened arms since industry was running away from heavy unionized Nothern Germany. Bavaria and Baden-Wurttenberg got the modern industry and the rest was left with smokestack industry. Now you've got that house full of crosses and images on Jesus and going to mass every Sunday and out of it you got this intellectual of high caliber discussing here with MQ. One new generation supersedes the old one and has nothing to do with the past.
