I think Don has hit it square on the head. It isn't that people hate us or want to, it is that they prefer to abdicate their rights, to have someone else do their thinking for them because it is so much easier than to actually think for yourself.

It is always easier to blame someone else for failure than yourself. It is why abnormal behaviour is blamed on the violence in video games or on television or now on porn online... it is simply a way to make them look in the mirror and not throw up, after all it isn't their fault that they didn't supervise little johnny or suzie, it was those wicked porn people or todays flavour of the month, the gays.

People need to start accepting responsibility for themselves and actually making their own decisions, not what some yahoo in a cassock says or some pin striped buffon.

Just my take on it.
