and most of us Americans, at least, tend to go with what is easiest.
People tend to stick with what they know. They're resistant to change.
That USED to be a valid survival mechanism, back when the old people in your tribe knew all the places where food went, all the migration patterns of the food, how to skin animals, etc.
I am not yet born, console me.
I fear that the human race may with tall walls wall me,
with strong drugs dope me, with wise lies lure me,
on black racks rack me, in blood-baths roll me.
