Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

A Difference Between Liberals and Conservatives

Blame victimLiberals are horrified at any and all 'blaming of the victim.'  Conservatives know better: there are situations in which it is just and right to assign a certain amount of the blame for a crime to the victim.  

Suppose I withdraw money from an outdoor ATM in a bad part of town on a Saturday night.  I walk away from the machine, head down, counting my loot while yapping on a cell phone.  I end up getting mugged.  Am I not partially to blame for the attack?

If you say No, then you lack common sense and you have no understanding of human nature.

You don't realize that you have a moral obligation not to suborn bad behavior.

There is no common sense and no wisdom on the Left.

So wise up and stop being a librul.  The life you improve will be your own.
