In many communities we no longer trust our neighbors, we no longer consider them to be men and women of goodwill. Distrust trickled down from the top and now the distrust has permeated every facet of society. People generally live up to expectations. The government expects its citizens to lie and cheat and unfortunately that is what we have been getting. Today we have middle aged people who never grew up and mastered their emotions and accepted the responsibilities that go with adulthood. Maybe nobody told them it was expected. The government has been assuring its citizens for a long time now that everything will be OK, that the politicians will provide for health needs, higher education, minimum wages, job training, shelter subsidies, and subsidies for food, transportation and care of their children. There is little incentive to "grow up" and be responsible. Many a man has deserted his family knowing that government could provide more for them than he could.
