A Thought: On the Efficacy of Placing Blame

Placing blame is an exceptionally effective tool.  The evidence is everywhere.  We use it constantly, as individuals and as a society, to put off actually fixing all sorts of problems.

What it comes down to is this: Placing blame (not to be confused with trying to understand a problem) does nothing but provide a way to keep from having to do the work of fixing a problem.  Hands used to point fingers can't be used to clean up a mess.
