States are like people. They do not question the awful status quo until some dramatic event overturns the conventional and lax way of thinking.
Some people will go to the opening of an envelope. They live their lives in the public eye and get off on it, they need it. They need that kind of adoration. If their name isn't in the tabloids once a week they feel like a failure.
It is thought that the changeover from hunter to farmer was a slow, gradual process.
