First thing to pop in to my head after reading your comment is this Upton Sinclair quote: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

It's a bit like wishing slaughterhouse workers would start to consider the animal's feelings and spend more time thinking about them.

I hope so too, just like I hope I get to fly around in a UFO because that would be pretty cool. Not really expecting that to happen though.
