Noble mentalities are always going to be in the minority.
Lots of people agreed with the principles and goals of the signers of The Declaration of Independence that set the stage for what would become the greatest nation on the face of the earth, but when it came to making the sacrifices that were necessary, history shows that very few were willing to step up to the plate.
They are the ignoble, gutless, base mentalities who don't deserve the freedom that their betters sacrificed friends, family, wealth, prestige, comfort, and their very lives to give them.
They wind up where they belong --- in the dust-bin of history.
