When you have too much government they're all job-scared and more than willing to snowball any/every little nothing into a career for themselves, and the off chance to be some kind of hero with a medal/trophy.

Actually, that's not true.

Billy was black, so he was bussed to a school on the other side of town. He and Johnny never met, because Johnny's white.

Because, you know, it was 1957.

Yea, things have truly changed in the last few decades. Glad there are other rational thinking people here on Yahoo! Answers.
