I believe this is due to 2 major cultural causes: (1.) The proliferation of government. The more rules you make the more you encourage people to rely on them. That is, "hey if there isn't a law, it must be ok." (2.) The culture of self-esteem. There's just been a study out about college students and how narcissistic they are which is likely for the same reason: when you focus so much on telling kids exactly when to get to the soccer game, make sure they have the right gear, and then you drive them there and make sure the play by rules ... and then you don't keep score ... well, you can't blame the kids for getting a royalty complex. At that point you're just shy of wiping for them. The solution is what it's always been: more competition and more market based solutions. Let the market be your stick and the amount of government you need shrivels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
