ya know i wonder this sometimes too and best that i can figure out is for the most part the people of our country take everything for granite... because in your era u had to earn everything and in my parents era they had to earn everything adn dont take stuff for granite... but for the most part everyone wants better for their children and for them to have more than they did.... i sometimes catch myself telling my mom or dad dont worry about its ok and then i give some BS reason.... i dont take alot of things for granite besides that we will have to pay taxes and die... and i respect what soldiers do for us and our freedoms.... i also believe that people think if they ignore somethign it will eventually go away... and thats a sad way to live too....
