Yeah, Heartlander, a lot of people just don't care. They fold to the peer pressure. There was a good study done back in the 70s about how many people will go along with the group (in this case, the group was asked to identify the longest line in a group of lines) due to peer pressure.
Interesting side note: when just one person stood up and told the truth about what line was the longest, that gave the "mark" courage to stand up and also tell the truth.
