  Where are you getting these 'facts' about how people are going to behave from? Truly, if it changes one person's mind then it's done some good. This alone won't change anything but spreading this to allow people to see there are kinks in the armour will allow people to perhaps vote in the future for difference. When the majority is against something, sometimes some good can be done. Not always. The government is all powerful, but there is a chance.

  In this case, I do think they will look at all of the factors and conclude that it was just a crazy set of coincidences that would rarely happen, and certainly not to themselves. In fact, some might conclude that such a set of circumstances warrants the investigation described, especially given this permanent state of fear in which many now live. In any case, I do believe the "it won't happen to me" rationalization is one of the biggest reasons people show little concern. And, for those who are concerned, a sense of powerlessness is probably the biggest obstacle to action.
