It does make it much easier to get through life, not being responsible.
However, we are responsible for the way our culture bulldozes over
everything in its path, throwing out the baby with the bath water.
The tempter may not be responsible for the decisions made by others,
but the tempter is responsible for tempting.

|Oh, come now. This is like the United States holding Colombia responsible
