Any adult American male who thinks that he's a "victim" is a whiner.
That sort of attitude is precisely what I get from the more depressed of the street people that I serve supper to at the local shelter. They don't like taking orders...and circumstances conspired to make them all "victims."
Well, that's not how the real world works.
In a capitalistic society, supply and demand determines prices for everything, including your labor. If your particular labor is more valuable, it is either because of its type of supply being short or of its demand being high.
If you get replaced, then a better deal was found. 100 years ago kids were hired to sell newspapers on street corners. Today, most of them have been replaced with simple mechanical machines. No doubt the kids moved on to better jobs, however, even though they were replaced by better deals for that particular service.
But the newspaper kids weren't "victims" of the newspaper street vending machines.
The kids did have to *change*, however. They had to go do something else, much as many system administrators and Java programmers are finding that they have to go change about themselves today.
Change, however, is something that some people would rather fight than embrace.
For those fighters of change, life will be rather frustrating for them.
