And one only makes such a choice if he's fearful, uneducated, and worried someone else is gonna take what's his.

Or: He's rich, manipulative, and loves the Status Quo because it's lined his coffers. Then he spends his time fomenting the ones in the former paragraph.

Now, our kids can be influenced, but if they're critical thinkers and raised by example, the chances are slim they'll go over to the dark side. It does happen, but luckily it's pretty rare.
