We Americans just love to pass the blame. What other country can boast of 3 lawyers for every citizen? We come up with the best reasons to blame others for our own problems.

Here’s a small list:

• If a woman burns her thighs on the hot coffee she’s holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.
• If your teen-age son kills himself or then next door neighbors, you blame the rock ‘n’ roll music or musician he liked.
• If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.
• If your daughter gets pregnant by the football captain you blame the school for poor sex education.
• If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.
• If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot up with heroin was dirty, you blame the government for not providing clean ones.
• If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
• If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.
• If a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilots at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.

I guess I’ll just never understand the world as it is anymore…
So if I die while my old, wrinkled ass is parked in front of this computer while writing this, I want you to blame Al Gore, OK? After all he invented the internet.
