Who is to Blame?

I find it interesting that so many want to place blame on others for all the problems we are having. I am not talking just about Wall Street, but this also includes the War in Iraq, terrorism, high cost of living and Global Warming. My opinion, and this comes from pretty much a nobody, is that when someone draws attention to another they are in fact trying to take the focus away from themselves. I have learned from working as a State Trooper and dealing with differing sides that usually the one that speaks the loudest is the one hiding something,or does not have any real answers to the situation.

So what does this mean to you if you are reading this. It is necessary to place everything in proper perspective when the blame game is being played. Is the person speaking out for himself? What does he/she have to gain from finger pointing? Do they have any real answers?

Next, does placing the blame really help with the situation? Does having someone at fault make things better? In most instances all blame does is cause bitter feelings and forces others to choose sides. Being on opposite sides is not necessarily bad because it forces sides to debate. When the debate happens though, this is not the time for placing blame. That is the time to step forward and show what answers you have to correct or fix a situation.

I watched the presidential debate the other night as well as listened to the many political leaders over the past week speaking. When the blame game was played I was turned off by the speaker. The fact is we are in a situation, Wall Street, Iraq, terrorism, high cost of living, Global Warming. What are you going to do about it? How can you involve others to make the situation better? Do you want to work together or are you following your own agenda?

I stated earlier that I was basically a nobody but that is not fully correct. I am a registered voter and being a United States Citizen that makes me a somebody. There are millions of no body's out there that can make a difference so all of you politicians should show us what you are made of and what you can do for us. Stop blaming and say something I can relate to!!!
