Bob put it very clearly for me and
I get very angry about this aspect of people.
People always want to blame someone else,
there has to be a scapegoat for every situation,
its like a massive comforter that people seem to need
"it isn't my fault, there was nothing I could do,... it was their fault"
"who is to blame for this?" etc...
This has always been with us, an underlying or overlying aspect of
all the hatred and bigotry that has depended on such obvious and pathetic
things as wrong clothes, wrong colour, wrong partner, wrong sex.
If you can't identify your enemy by obvious visual differences then start
targeting behavioural ones. Its sick!
The human garden has more than its fair share of weeds unfortunately.
Laws won't change this and I'm sorry if I sound like a pessimist
but if people weren't so incapable of getting along with each other then the
only laws
we would need would be taxes, dog and vehicle registration stuff.
Whole armies of people (literally) would be out of work if we could get on
with each other...
Now thats a vision I would like to see come true.
Sorry if I come across a little strongly but this is not a good time for me
and Gary and Winfields untimely departure has been another blow when least
needed
I apologise in advance to anyone offended.
