Makes me think of what somebody said about police, but true here as in many areas of life: As soon as you tell somebody the government is going to be taking care of something everybody immediately relinquishes all authority in that area. Police come to a small town that never had it before? Nobody looks out for each other any more. Start feeding the kids breakfast and lunch? Pretty soon people stop taking responsibility for feeding them.
