An Excellent Point

And now, a bit of signal boosting:

All Are Responsible from Slacktivist. Essentially: even though you may not be to blame, it doesn't mean you shouldn't fix something.

This is why I love me some Slacktivist. Fred has a great way of articulating those things you know but just haven't put into words yet.

Funny, I was thinking about this kind of thing just last night. Specifically, my boyfriend always tries to 'correct' me when I use the first-person-plural when referring to things the US as a country did. I think it's about owning up to responsibility, and far better than saying "They", which implies some kind of discreet, continuous super-cabal behind everything a country does.

There might be a whole post in there, if I could get off my butt.
