Summary

This quote suggests that the societal stigma placed on certain unhealthy behaviors was effective in discouraging people from engaging in them. However, as society becomes more accepting and the stigma diminishes, individuals may feel less compelled to make choices based on long-term consequences. Without the stigma, people may prioritize immediate gratification and indulge in behaviors that were previously seen as undesirable, without considering the potential negative effects. The quote highlights the notion that the removal of stigma can impact individuals' decision-making processes and potentially lead to a shift towards instant gratification rather than considering long-term consequences.

In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes, it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation's history.
