Culture of Responsibility?

Well, you know this isn't really one because, as with just about everything our current administration says to do, you know they're pretty much going to do the opposite. When was the last time anyone currently in power took personal responsibility for anything? From Kath David comes a heartbreaking story of what happens when the "we aren't really moral people, we just talk a good game" lesson seeps unconsciously into the behavior of the governed. (No, I'm not saying Bush & co. have anything to do directly with this incident, but I do think these hypocrites are at the heart of the lack of actual moral leadership in the US government nowadays; we're a far cry from the "ask not what your country can do for you" days...)
