Not only is the problem that people can't take care of themselves - they don't want to know!
They don't have the skills to do things for themselves and rather than learn them they spend $$$$ to go on an "extreem" vacation. Usually just walking over a hill and spending a night or two in a tent with a "survival guide" . All of this could/can be learned in the boy scouts.
Heck pick up a book or bother to ask "Hows that work?" rather than " What's a tire jack, why can't somebody help me raise my kids - its the schools job!!" You get the point.
