We are living in a society that frequently shifts the blame when things go wrong. If a man rapes a woman, it is because his mother didn't love him enough when he was a child. If a young girl gets pregnant, it is because she didn't have a dad around. When some voters punch the ballot wrong, it is because the ballot is wrong. But 19,000 people who didn't ask for help think they are not responsible.
Voting is a right, but it is the voters' responsibility to make sure they do their part correctly.
Until we start owning up to our own mistakes, things will never get better in America. I was delighted to see that, for once, Tonyaa Weathersbee wrote a column that wasn't racially biased and divisive. I couldn't have said it better myself. Hopefully, the Clinton era of pimping, demagoguery and scare tactics is coming to an end. It is not a moment too soon.
