Now, you can scream "To the Hague!!" all day, and guess what's gonna happen? Nuthin'. You can "blame" me for that but it's not my fault--it's the fault of people who have wiped their asses on standards down the years, from the Greed is Good clowns to the Let's Make a Profit Out of Education assholes. Who suffers? The next generations--they are "carefully taught" that being an asshole PAYS. And they've been taught that since "Ewwwwww---Evil Obama" was in Junior High School.
The only way to stop this kind of behavior is to inculcate it from the earliest years, and the only way to make that happen is to start teaching children ethics and civics from their earliest days in school.
But go on and make the snarky remarks, place blame so you don't have to share the responsibility, make it all about "Obama BAAAAAD" and not a bigger picture problem, since that's all you've got--and keep travelling down that low road. It won't solve a damn thing, but you'll feel better, I'm sure.
