Poll question: OK -- who should we blame?

... Blame the angels. Blame the fates. Blame the Jews -- or your sister Kate. Teach your children who to hate. And the big wheels turn around and around ...

1. I blame this poll.
And the hyperlinks...though not as much, not as much.

2. Blame today's culture of instant gratification, idealism and selfishness
Combined with apathy on the part of the majority.

7. I dunno, man, y'know, I mean, it seems to me, like, we hippies got
blamed for everything, man. Like, we'd be sittin around pleasantly buzzed, enjoyin the butterflies or sumthin, and tryin to decide whether we had the munchies bad enough to excuse rushin off to grab a twinkie even thoughb y'know it's just a big bad OD of chemicals, and while we're sittin there Uncle Sam would pull some shizz, like, y'know, carelessly droppin Skylab on Australia, which is, like, almost the next continent over. I mean, I could totally understand it if, like, people wanted to blame Earth Shoes -- but hippies? I mean, why?
