I see more people taking on the cloak of accountability, more people tiring of the blame game.

We can't blame lawyers anymore for the 'liability' vs. common sense imbalance. ↗

Neither praise or blame is the object of true criticism. Justly to discriminate, firmly to establish, wisely to prescribe, and honestly to award. These are the true aims and duties of criticism. ↗
