Exactly. I was just facetiously spouting the liberal line to show its absurdity.
Sorry about that. I was clearly struck by a case of galloping literalism this am :)
And it IS absurdity!! It is obviously on a MUCH grander scale when it comes to this type of disturbed decision making, but I am getting absolutely sick and tired of the "why should I be held responsible" attitude that we have been falling further and further and further into as the years have passed.
The montra "I Am Responsible" needs to find it's way back into our society, fast!! Not the "I was born that way so how can I stop myself" line... I'm a recovering alchoholic, and the havoc and pain I inflicted on my friends and family was horrible... BUT, I WAS RESPONSIBLE!! Not booze, not circumstances, not my dad didn't hug me enough... ME!
In my case, and just in my opinion, is alchoholism/addiction something you are "born" with? I absolutely believe it is, BUT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN ACTIONS.... You can recognize it and address it, or you can continue doing WHAT YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF is wrong, but when it comes time to pay the price for it, stop passing the buck for crying out loud!!!
