This is human. We all look for confirmation. And today a hungry media sees satisfying that need as a sellable product, if not directly then once removed.
The left blames the right. The right the left. China blames America, America blames China. Domestics blame people from elsewhere, urbanites blame ruralites ("It was their political choices that led to this!) On and on. Infinitum.
No doubt some blame resides here and there. But on a deeper and truer level this, I truly think, is just something that happened. -Something we were so open for with today's speedy and mass movement of people and the things they carry that the wonder is that it took until now.
And we thought... No, we DEMAND!... that we be free of it. That others carry the burden. "They" "Them" The other."
Such is, yes, understandable. But it is the flailing and wailing of children.
Grownups need to see farther. And do better.
