And I think we have a responsibility to try to make things better -- to change things. As soon as these issues are brought up, somebody pops up and starts talking about "personal responsibility" with the predictability of night following day. And it's always out of place. Of course I'm the only person who can dig my way out of the hole. It's a truism. But I also believe I have a responsibility to help other people avoid falling into a hole in the first place by stopping the digging of the holes, not wag my finger and say, "You just have to exercise personal responsibility like I did." We can change how things are, unless we throw up our hands and choose not to, while hiding behind a slogan.
