RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] Judges for Sale

["Hargus, Diana" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Actually, there is that and the fact that we are being indoctrinated to
believe that anything that happens is not our fault, excepting global
warming that is.  In our society, we are being "taught" by the legal
system that nothing is our own responsibility.  Eat 10 boxes of Twinkies
and go out and lay waste to a crowd with an Uzi; it is not your fault,
it is the Twinkies' fault.  Spill hot coffee in your lap while driving;
it isn't your fault, it is someone else's fault for not labeling the
coffee that it was hot.  If we are going to get anywhere on morals and
values in America, we will have to learn to take responsibility for our
actions and then stand by those actions, right or wrong.  Sorry for the
rant, but it is a hot button for me.
