BLAME
How the world works today...

If a man cuts his finger off while
Slicing salami at work,
He blames the restaurant.

If you smoke three packs a day
For 40 years and die of lung cancer,
Your family blames the
Tobacco company.

If your neighbor crashes
Into a tree while driving home drunk,
He blames the bartender.

If your grandchildren are
Brats without manners,
You blame television.

If your friend is shot by a
Deranged madman,
You blame the gun manufacturer.

And if a crazed person breaks
Into the cockpit and
Tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet,
And the passengers
Kill him instead,
The mother of the crazed terrorist
Blames the airline.

I must have lived too long to
Understand the world
As it is anymore.

So, if I die while I'm parked in front of this computer,
I want all of you to blame Bill Gates.

I wonder what happened to the notion of taking responsibility for yourself. You don't suppose this is where our kids are learning that their not a fault for anything from, do you?

You are correct, responsibility is, among a few other places, contained and celebrated in our constitution, the one people blame and want to "improve" by changing it to their current whim.

Blaming someone else is a natural human frailty. We all do it, some more than others. See, we even blame others for blaming others! :mrgreen:
