16. Right. Find somebody who it's convenient to place the blame on.

Rather than the college kids who saw the reports that it was a bad thing and decided that since it wasn't banned it must be encouraged.

Because the idea of being responsible is stupid--we must be made to do things, and if we're not ordered to behave then there are limits on what we can do ... Because we really outsource our values, morals, and thinking to those who can. Unlike us, apparently.

They need keepers, somebody to monitor their actions, behavior, and keep them under guard lest they do something wrong. (And we think they should be allowed to vote, the anti-information voters? Or do we think they should be allowed to vote, but first we'll tell them who to vote for?)
