And why did things go so wrong, & so far down, in the first place?
Look at
Pg 4, the pic & comment, & pg 19, the pic, in particular. I bet no one would have thought such a study was necessary a long time ago. I bet most ppl yrs ago, & even today, would have said, or will say, "no BFD! No BFD!" Or they would have yelled, or will yell, "you're ridiculous!!!"
And so nothing got improved cuz too many ppl either were snoozing, rationalizing away the problem, over intellectualizing the issue, or too busy with life behind their white picket fence to care one way or the other.
