I honestly can see where life can become too full of responsibility, where you would have to depend on a governing entity to provide. This is the very basis of society. Now, the government does need to back off on several censorship issues, I would agree - however, it is proven that people are incredibly impressionable.
The way I see it, most of those people are feckless and irresponsible precisely because they can afford to be. The government will bail them out if they screw up. I've seen that exact thing happening here in England. People do no take personal responsibility, and if something goes wrong, it is up to some other power to both take the blame, and fix the mess. That has extended far further, so people are irresponsible in almost every area of life. I don't care about that in and of itself, but society forces me to have an interest in it by forcing me to fund the healthcare, schooling, etc. of everyone else. Anyway, by removing these crutches, people might not actually become more responsible - but the successful will do better, and end up by simply overtaking those who don't act in a reasonably wise manner, and the matter will eventually be resolved in that way.
yeah, all really good points, but I do not think that all people lack responsability for the sake that they can afford to. I mean, I see people get there kids taken away, abuse their kids and mal-nourish them, people not go to FREE clinics when available. I see too much out right laziness, to have any faith in an Archaic style government correctly protecting people. Sadly, some need protection, and even then they often won't help themselves. They are free to do so, but they are also free to have a poverty lifestyle (to some point). I think just forcing these people into a social structure similar to the English industrial revolution is certainly not the answer. Debtor jail, brim full orphanages, and poverty everywhere. It is a puristic welfare state that takes care of the populace, and the populace is important to the higher class, as well as low class. Like I said earlier, we all have niches to fill, and we need people we deem as dumber, lesser peoples. We rely on them, and thusly pay them.

So when we need these people, and yet these same impressionable people happen to easily fallow suit of there digital experiences, what do we do from there? Back to the conundrum mentioned above. Give them all freedoms, taketh away, etc.
