So, you are putting the blame on people who can't put the blame properly? Everyone has some notions of "who is to blame for current bad situation". In this instance I agree with you, now after finding solution - what can I do about this? We put the blame very easily, but finding solutions is hard. That's why most people stop at finding someone to blame, then say "why don't anyone do something about this". Reason why I don't "do anything about this" : no one listens to my opinions and solutions I can accomplish by myself are mostly illegal. If I want to accomplish something constructive, I would have to convince many people to change themselves, but this is probably the hardest thing to do for normal people and I'm worse than normal people at it.
