The first paragraph and half of the second is all about how Josh Hancock's father is ignoring the fact that his son acted with utter irresponsibility and is blaming (in the form of a lawsuit) his son's death on the restaurant that served the alcoholic beverages. (Incidentally, he is also suing the towing company of the truck that was hit.)<BR/><BR/>This was all fine and consistent with the the title of the post and the theme I felt you were trying to convey (that is in taking responsibility for one's actions).<BR/><BR/>Your final comment, however, is inconsistent with this theme. <B>I know you didn't mean it that way</B> but in an indirect way, you were saying that since you perceive a lack of personal responsibility at the "top", that some of the blame belongs there. Otherwise, why make that comment at all?Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-45218222618675841092007-05-30T17:30:00.000-07:002007-05-30T17:30:00.000-07:00No if you read my post (which I wonder) I said Jos...No if you read my post (which I wonder) I said Josh Hancock died at his own choosing when he choose to drink and drive. His father instead of accepting that fact decided it wasn't his son's responsibility. I said how society in general doesn't accept responsibility starting with your president who has been quoted saying he has not recalled making any mistakes. Tell me any of this is wrong and prove it.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132125311158280423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-11672722953745754632007-05-29T11:47:00.000-07:002007-05-29T11:47:00.000-07:00Okay, so you were wrong in your initial post.

Apparently Josh Hancock died because Bush, according to you, doesn't accept responsibility for anything.<BR/><BR/>So Hancock's father should be suing George Bush.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12457120.post-18514188328990542202007-05-28T10:36:00.000-07:002007-05-28T10:36:00.000-07:00Bush has said many times he has never made any mis...Bush has said many times he has never made any mistakes.

How many taxpayer's dollars will have to be spent because of the litigation? <BR/><BR/>However, I don't believe it was right for you to add in the comment about examples by those at the top. It almost sounds like you are contradicting your own statement - that is; be responsible, don't blame others for your own actions.Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.com
