How America works lately

Let's see if I understand how America works lately...

* If a woman burns her thighs on a hot coffee she was holding in her lap while driving, she blames the restaurant.
* If your teenage son kills himself, you blame rock and roll music or the musician he liked.
* If you smoke three packs of cigarettes a day for forty years and you die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco companies.
* If your teenage daughter gets pregnant by the football captain, you blame the school for poor sex education.
* If your neighbor crashes his car into a tree while driving home drunk, you blame the bartender.
* If your cousin gets AIDS because the needle he used to shoot up heroin was dirty, you blame the government for not providing clean needles.
* If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.
* If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

I must have lived too long to understand the world anymore, so if I die while I am parked in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates. Ok?
