Personal responsibility waning, experts say

Update: Link Fixed

A fairly lengthy article. It really steams me that our governemnt is setting the standard for not taking responsibility (both Clinton and Bush).

"People begin to live in a way where they don't share a lot of symbolic meaning with the people near them," said the Rev. John Staudenmaier, S.J., a historian at the University of Detroit Mercy. "They don't want to share. They don't come from a world where the commitments you make bind you."

All the more reason to take personal responsiblity if only to go against the current trend. Try it some time. Take or admit responsibility for something and watch the person you're speaking to become uncomfortable. It's weird.
