"There seems to be a weird short circuit you can do to a lot of people's morality where you can get someone to treat others with absolute inhuman cruelty if you first convince him her that they've been treating them too well. Every justification I've ever heard for ignoring/worsening poverty and racism starts with an assertion of how easy the victims currently have it because we're too soft." -- Pluto Shervington, Lawyers, Guns, and Money, comments [thanks to realinterrobang for quoting this earlier]

I think I had that done to me the day before yesterday. Nothing so painful or bloody, but a neighbour managed to condition me to not do a favour for another neighbour.

It starts so damnably small, doesn't it?
