Don't mistake my disagreeing with any alleged lack of understanding.
My concerns have nothing to do with the cause of anything other than the cause of the demand for blood, which often results in injustice in our society. If you can propose an acceptable justification for irrational mob behavior, then I'll set aside my rant. In the meanwhile, I'm unwilling to accept such a societal ill without trying to change it by highlighting it as I am.
Not the folks I'm talking about.
Perhaps the confusion is with respect to what we're each talking about. I'm talking about the overreaction and irrational behavior of the general public that led to the downfall of a company instead of the conviction of people who actually did something wrong. (That same irresponsible collective behavior keeps almost everyone who is actually qualified to run the country from running for office, which is why we end up with yahoos like Clinton and Bush. So it's not an isolated transgression.)
There is no scapegoating here. There is real blame for real reprehensible collective behavior.
