Next thing you'll know they'll blame Tim Horton's on people gaining too much weight. They'll blame Robert E. Lee for hosting a violent game. |
They do blame Tim Hortons for obesity. They do blame Rob for
hosting a violent game, and Valve for making it. They blame
Ford for the idiots that drive their SUV while talking to me
on the phone bitching about an overdraft fee (I work at a bank,
and I just know that one day I'm going to have one of those
types of calls, and then hear this sudden screeching and crunching
noise of a high speed impact because the asshole was looking at
his checkbook rather than the road). They blame anything and
everything except the person that choose to overeat, or the
person that choose to kill half his office, or the person that
choose to not pay attention to his driving.
There is, appearantly an emotional barrier in some people
against accepting that PEOPLE make choices, not tools like guns, not
societal instutions or government agencies, not broken families, not
drugs, not anything but PEOPLE, every day, decide what they will
do.
It's just to messy for some people. They can't accept it. They
have to somehow try to 'fix' the problem. Everything has to be
fixed. People have to be FORCED to PLAY NICE AND LOVE EACH
OTHER ALL THE TIME.
No man is an island, of course, and many things have an influence
on a person, but ultimately, eah person responsible for what they do.
That's that.
I wish I'd been listening when that interview was on (I often listen to
NPR), because that dialouge is kick-ass. He shut her psycho-social
blame game down right well.
