I do too.
People are brainwashed/indoctrinated from the minute they start watching TV. Schools reinforce a Lot of it by rewarding kids with grades if they answer questions correctly.
What is happening should be recognized. A law should be written. That law should specify the scope of those who should be punished for "going along with it". The law should define a singular punishment (no sliding scale ... hard & fast ... no deviation ... no possibility of a pardon). A speedy trial should be enforced and punishment should occur within ten minutes of the court being adjourned.
I'll guarantee you the shenanigans would be over with within an instant of the passage of THAT law.
