Reply #72: I'm okay with that analogy...

The party that started the fire is still ultimately at fault. Because the fire fighter, or whomever tried to fight the blaze, was an idiot doesn't take the blame away from the person that started it.

When a criminal murders someone, you don't go looking to blame the justice system, socio-economic policy, etc, first - you go directly after the person(s) whom are actually responsible for the specific crime. After the fact, it is fine to address what can be done to stop such murderers from flourishing to begin with.

Your's is a good analogy, and I basically agree with it.
