Perhaps you are writing about some group that you belong to. I don't consider myself a part of that "we," thank you very much. :)

But I certainly understand what you are saying, and the fault lies in the desire to believe something that is too good to be true. Here we are getting to the very definition of "gullible."

I suppose children are not exposed to scammers and thieves early enough and are sent out into the world thinking that everyone is honest. The flaw in that idea is that the elderly seem to be more gullible than the young, which would bolster Wen's argument that gullibility is increasing...

So here I go refuting my earlier assertion if that is true. It may be a generational thing, or do the elderly just get more gullible with age?
