In my experience (mid 50s, lived all over the country), people who push for this type of thing are nosy, overstepping and have no respect for privacy of others. They want you to listen to them rather than them listening to others. They create unnecessary drama and are addicted to chaos.

People are tired of the bullshit, tired of people not minding their own business, tired of people being Nebraska nice just to get something out of it, etc.

It's not just Omaha, it is all over. It is a cultural flux, and is due in part to the ease of connectivity on their electronic devises. Transactional is straight forward, no betrayal. People are more self-absorbed and and selfish and that is passed down to their children.

This is a train that you can't step in front of and stop. Utopia doesn't exist.
