The American people view themselves as not responsible for consequences of their actions, no matter how foolish or ill advised the actions may be. Gamble your live savings away in Vegas, the casino tricked you to it. Get busted for DUI, the bar tender is at fault for serving you. Get AIDS from unprotected sex, Regan's fault. Take a mortgage for more than you earn, the bank tricked you. How can we blame the rest of the world for saying they go hungry only because America has eaten all the food.
