Americans as a whole aren't proactive. We are reactive. We wait until the thing happens and then use it as an excuse to consolidate power. Police don't prevent crime, they punish it. Politicians never head off an upcoming problem, they just stand back and fundraise. Parents don't often lead by example or teach good manners in a positive way, they react and punish bad behavior.

Rewards are a buy off and not a proper "attaboy". Sometimes rewards are just to get people to shut the fuck up
