As the old saying goes, when you point a finger at someone else, four more are pointed at you.

WE are responsible because of our inattentiveness and desire to accumulate money and "things" even though the means for doing so clearly didn't make any economic sense. We can criticize our own willingness to accept nonsensical statements and claims made to us by our political leaders, a lot easier thing to do than to take the time to think through what's right and wrong...and then DO something about it.
