"Many want to cast blame"
Yep, no matter the issue, there are plenty of folks lookin' to spread blame far and wide, ropin' in as many folks as possible, never mind that most of those slathered with blame are blameless.
An anecdote some of you can appreciate...
When I worked for Stennis way back when, every one had ready and open access to the net...some dumbass took advantage and made a habit of enjoying porn sites...Stennis management, in it's profound wisdom, severely restricted all net access and did not fire the dumbass.
Slather that blame, spread the consequence, every one guilty till proven innocent.
More sensibly: can the dumbass and leave every one else alone; punish the cops who abuse their lent power and leave the rest alone; punish jackasses who shoot up malls, schools, whatnot, and leave the rest alone.
Each one innocent till proven guilty.
Institutional and unconscious bias is horse manure.
If Joe does crap hold Joe responsible, not Sam.
Toss 'we' and 'them' and (re)install 'I' and 'you' and 'him' and 'her'.
