Here's the thing. Demapping isn't standard fare like people think it is. You have to be really capital D Depressed to actually go through with it and, even then, most people who do it are sort of paradoxically schizophrenic about the process. Nevermind the Lawful Gun Appropriation Act passed in 1988 following the murders of Jonathan Leary and Meredith Leary by their not-so-mad-but-slightly-rabid son who may or may not have ingested too many MAOIs depending on which tabloid you defaulted to but most Americans will tell you it's just way too nervewracking to buy a gun unless you're south of the Mason Dixon line.

When people say they are taking a "break" these days they often don't mean that in the antiquated sense of the term. What in the past was a passing period for grabbing a cup of coffee^1 has instead turned into anglicized versions of the Siesta. Unfortunately the employment level, and productivity, of Spain has fallen drastically in recent years and they are quickly headed towards a default in the vein of Greece (not to mention the political unrest in certain community).
What this seems to spell out, is that we, as a western civilization, due to becoming more and more lazy as we become more reliant on Technology, are quickly heading towards another major financial crises.
One of the reasons China has been so successful is because they barely pay their workers enough to live on, they can't afford to spend their money on Frivolities and are entirely dependent on working full working days in order to survive.
1: Coffea Arabica, commonly known as coffee, is made from the crisply burnt beans (Actually a fruit pit) and originated in Latin America. It was commonly drank by Dragon Priests before performing Human Sacrifices.
