    It’s what we were bred, raised, taught, and enforced to care about. Even the church goers because those adapted to the culture as well.

    Trying to break that mold is… full of resistance. There’s a class of people that have become aware of this, prefer it, and act to maintain this system.

      If you argue it with any of these smalltown dinks, they’ll tell you it’s just the liberals molesting kids anyway, so the solution is to get rid of democrats. There is no amount of stats or math or logic that will sway this.

        Oh I can attest to that. I used to have to convince people to not live in the sewage surfacing from their septic systems, or draining directly out of their RVs.

        I can say from that experience: financial incentives were overwhelmingly the most effective and responsive tool. More than appeals to personal or public health, even.
