Personal Responsibility

Let's see if I understand the state of personal responsibility in society in
the last 20 years.

If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she was holding in her lap
while driving, the restaurant is to blame.

If you suck three packs of cigarette smoke into your lungs each day for 40
years and die of lung cancer, the tobacco company is to blame.

If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school
for poor sex education.

If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, the bartender
is to blame.

If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot heroin was
dirty, the government is to blame for not providing clean ones.

And, if your friend is shot by an angry neighbor, you blame the gun
manufacturer.

And, if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilots
at 35,000 feet, and the passengers injure him instead, the airline owes him
a few million.

If you choose a life of crime and finally get caught, it's not your fault,
let us pay your rent, feed you, give you a law degree, and on weekends you
can stay in a communal visits cottage with your honey. Don't worry about
those 5 sentences, you'll serve them all at once, and you'll be out in 3
months.

If you don't like facing your problems, here's some Prozac, that will fix
the world around you.

Actually, nothing is your fault, it was either your parents, your teachers
or some rich, evil company that made you what you are.
