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

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

If your teen-age son kills himself, you blame
the rock 'n' roll musician he liked. 

If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer
your family blames the tobacco company. 

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,
you blame the bartender. 

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

If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television. 
And, 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 pilots at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead,
the mother of the deceased blames the airline. 

God bless America, land of the free, home of the blame


Train up a child in the way he should go
and when he is old, he will not depart from it 
Proverbs 22:6
