Does no one take responsibility for their own actions any more? Is 
absolutely EVERYTHING someone else's fault and never your own?

I'm reminded of a story I heard many years ago about a young man whose 
parents were attractive, smart, and successful. He sued them because he 
was ugly, stupid, and a loser. The judge laughed him out of court.
