   I speculate that when the Industrial Revolution hit, those hunter-gatherer   
   types were effectively pushed out of society.  There were still some, but they   
   didn't have the resources to do anything, so never got powerful.   
      
   Other areas that didn't get industrialized kept the old hunter-gatherer   
   mentality and that mentality moved with them as they moved.  Ex: The old   
   American South.

   Ick.  I never did like Hunger Games.  :)
