Absolutely, true. We are always waiting for the cavalry to ride in and save the day. It is the sickness of the indoctrination we have suffered under for decades - that the centralized government is the answer to all our problems. Most have been trained to wait there like good little kiddies until the government is good and ready to do something - if they are going to do anything at all. Many of us do not know how to stand up for ourselves. Those in the community who have those skills to be self actualizated need to help those who are less so. Like Regan said, "The government is the problem."
