A simple fact that seems to have been lost among the flow of oratory
following the recent events in the United States. When any horrific act
occurs here, blame must be assigned. As it seems, evidently, unpolite to
blame the actual instigators of the act, we must look elsewhere, to groups,
to acts and policies further from the possibility of personal insult or
offense. We must look to the Judases we hate anyway, looking for yet another
reason to castigate those for whose we have not found sufficient evidence to
crush already.

In short, it is not the wielders of guns or killers of children who are to
blame; the real blame falls on the society so no personal offense is given,
or on groups we have ulterior motive to hate, so that we may turn others'
misfortunes into our own victories.

It is the American Way. God bless America.
