You have to remember that we are now in a period of extreme laziness -
everyone wants something done for them.  Whether they take advantage of
welfare, disability - whatever - this is the way people are.  This is why
they will continue to run other people's programs on a calc rather than
write their own, using other people's work for their own profit (yet
intellectual loss).
