Tobacco users make an informed decision when they buy tobacco products. They simply choose tobacco over good health. That they have triedand succeededto place the blame on an industry that simply gave them what they asked for is a testament to the lack of personal responsibility that this country faces today. All over the United States we see fingers pointing, day after day. Nowhere is lack of personal responsibility more obvious than in the gun control debate.
Criminals kill peopleit is an unfortunate part of humanity.
Today more than ever, it seems that murderous criminals are not responsible for their activities. All gun violence is apparently the fault of the gun makers who are, as everyone knows, placing guns directly into the hands of young children and teaching them to shoot one another. Gun violence is also the fault of television and movies, which are filled with extremely attractive people killing one another, encouraging people to believe that they will be more attractive if they kill people, too. There is nothing more ridiculous than a grown person trying to blame her own dubious actions on everyone else in sight. Consider Darva Conger of Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire.
