Yes well Kevin, we have three quotes, but all so true.

They're from vast varying periods in time.

Yet, all are equally applicable today.

Yet again, few will accept personal responsibility for our times. In my
experience each f us has a story which absolves ourselves.

"Wasn't my fault"

Perhaps I read more into your post than was originally intended.

Those whom have known me over a long period of time can say my mantra has
always been:

"I am responsible"

How many ordinary, everyday folk can say that today? How many accept
responsibility for the total garbage which passes for international relations?

Read this and see why I personally believe society is now totally down the
sewer [and this is only a microcosm]:

How worse can society depreciate?

BTW:  I believe most don't damn well care and what is likely ahead of us is
well deserved.
