Power
«The most obvious and condescending tell-tale sign that manipulation is taking place is that no one takes responsibility for the actions of the administration, it?s always some other department who is to blame and never the people who have authority, it?s always some nameless foot-soldiers, a ?few bad apples,? when we all know that such excuses don?t hold water, we know who gave the order for soldiers to engage in the abhorrent techniques of torture, we know who told subordinates in the corporation(s) to ?fudge the numbers? and ?be creative,? we know full well who makes these decisions. President Truman said, ?The buck stops here,? now the buck effectively floats over many people never stopping anywhere, so there?s no one to blame.»
