On the Giving up of Victim Status

Sadly, it will only come about via force (and by force I don't mean through violence but rather by ignoring these people, changing our policies, etc.) in that a) most folks are just too scared to be held responsible and b) there's just way too much power and money at stake (government bureaucrats/programs, special interest groups, etc.) for a voluntary conclusion to occur. Hopefully it doesn't get too get ugly along the way.
