68. In Benchley's world, personal responsibilty is a myth.
Edited on Thu Apr-22-04 12:25 PM by OpSomBlood
It is the function of the school board to decide how to allocate their funds. How is the NRA to blame when a school board contacts them requesting gun safety education materials? If the school board was so malleable that they could be "pressured" by "dishonest pieces of shit," then they are unfit to run a school district.

Do you similarly feel that anti-drug education programs like DARE are worthless? Or that sex education is just a front for the condom industry?

But then again, I guess this just runs parallel to your theory that the companies which provide products are the ones to blame when people willfully abuse those products. Everyone's responsible for a crime except the guy who committed it. He just wasn't hugged enough as a child.
