@ChrisMayLA6 Yes, I agree. There is something with a personal crisis or with an extreme situation, that sometimes forces people out of ingrained, mental habits, and into new perspectives. Just look at people with near death experiences, I'd say that there can be radical shifts of values there.

As for upbringing, it is true. That is why I think the government is so attracted to getting its hands on the young, because it makes it easier to mold them into supporters of the government.
