People don't like speaking plainly in our PC world world. We used to call able bodied men who pan handled on the street, "bums." Today they are described, euphemistically, as "homeless." If one were to described one of these bums as a loser you'd be considered heartless and cruel. We all know in sports everyone gets a trophy just for showing, when in my day you had to be the "winner." Getting a trophy back then meant something; today it means nothing. Teachers are discouraged from grading papers in red ink or even giving out Fs. They have to give "trigger warnings" to protect the tender sensibilities of the precious little darlings in the classroom.

@Chevdove More questions as to possible answers may be deduced via the tale of Cain & Abel who ignored a better life in exchange for human jealousy of his brother, or human 'survival by any means necessary,' responsible for the creation of powerful State governments that justify war and servitude for a better life. Yes, crazy as it is, matters have always been this way and; any other view is a mirage, a deliberate lie to deceive us. @Mel Hopkins: Right, and that's true for each and every media outlet in the world, especially America!! The media can no-longer feed folks BS because people do not even to be told what's happening. At all. Period. Anyone with eyes, ears, and the sanity to understand know what is happening. Thanks
