Blame is the name of the game.... why change when we can simply keep blaming others in the past for where we are now?

We know we need change, we know we need to get a better, cheaper fuel than Middle East oil, we know that as long as we prop up tyrants (the Royal Saudi family), self righteous governments (Isreal) and we refuse to move forward in positive ways.... that 9/11's will continue to happen.

The problem with all the knowing.... we can blame other parties, other leaders past and present and we can rest easily because we don't have to change anything.

Change is scary, change is hard work and brings about things that may make us look at ourselves and see we may not be as great as we think.

Yet, to work for change and to not blame but to find out what went wrong and make sure it doesn't happen again..... change requires all parties working together for the same goals. But that doesn't seem very likely....

So we'll keep the status quo and keep blaming everyone else that does not share our party's political view.
