What would it take?

It's all about the living conditions of the average person. People in Louisiana took up arms against people who were trying to help them, because mentally they were in a place that they didn't care anymore. Their houses were gone, there were dead bodies floating in the streets, and they wanted food.

It would take the murder of a lot of families, and I wouldn't count the ones who were stockpiling weapons and participating in a creepy pedophilic cult.

Me, and several people I know. If this is a problem, it's not widespread enough to affect average people.

Only if it were uncompensated, and widespread. I know the compensation they offer in these situations isn't necessarily a fair market price, but I expect to get majorly screwed by someone at least a couple of times in my life. It's just the way it is.

Ultimately, I would have to be in a place where I didn't care. And as long as I have food, and a reasonable place to live, and am not being surrounded by out-and-out destruction and murder of others, I'm still going to care.
