The blame game.

[technoir]

The thing that always fascinates/frustrates me, is the tendency of people to blame the ills of the world on one group or another.  People all the time, will blame any number of things on the group with whom they dislike or disagree with.  The group that is not you, is always the problem.

It is easy to see in politics.  The Republicans will blame

I would also like to point out that one of Reagan's mantras was "The United States does not engage in nation building." So much for that, huh? ;-)

Reagan was great with the catch phrases and the charm. He had a great ability to tell people he would make things alright and have them believe it. I was a never a fan of his policy decisions, but he had real mastery of how to present his agenda. It is possible no one since him has been as good at it.

It is impossible to be knowledgeable on every subject. No one has that kind of time to do the research. What people can do though, is be suspicious when ever they hear things like "this major problem is due to the actions of group A". That is a good place to start. That and maybe read the news rather than get it from people who will tell you what you should think of it.

I am getting into Media Production and taking the Video Game Design courses while I am in that concentration.
