I don't think that is where shame became less cared about. I think it  
began in government and Wall Street and their huge corporate  
accomplices, where we, the people, have watched shameful thing after  
thing happen and we became inured to it to the point where we now not  
only accept it but we expect it.

And just what are we willing to do about it? Why, just keep voting for  
the same ol' same ol' good ole boys.

We deserve it.
