Have you noticed that this was an issue before, but that that big of a deal until the last US election campaign? Once the last US election campaign kicked off it's like the whole world went nuts with all the ridiculous pr shit. These are all 1st world problems though, you don't here these arguments going on in 2nd and 3rd world countries much. I would wager that if there is another economic downturn all this stuff is going out the window and people will re-prioritize their lives.
