I guess my point is that there seems to be a generalized feeling of acceptance within many of the population, as you said yourself. There are people who are under pressure to pay for the high price of gas and the groceries on the table who don't see it as being a law at all; they see it as being a benefit. If your membership has that too, and if we have a lax approach to it in our organized system of handling it, then it's not surprising we'd see that laxness across the country in other areas too.
