A timely quote from Samuel Adams (1722-1803)..

" If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
Samuel Adams, (1722-1803)

I guess human nature has not changed much.

I thought humans would have evolved more by now.
