Life has become a blame game...........

Yes indeedy. No matter what manner of misfortune befalls anyone in this life ... there is someone out there to blame for it. Preferably someone with very deep pockets!

If you sell a product that kills people, or causes great social costs to be inflicted upon the society (for example via the health care system) should not a cost of doing business be to pay up to society for the harm you inflict upon it?

I'm not for personal recoveries, but if the Mc D's had to pay some of the Mc. Health costs to society their food has pushed onto taxpayers, I think that would be a Mc. Good thing- and it would probably also make Mc Donalds offer more Mc Choices that were Mc Healthy.

Speaking of the blame game...

"Family Links Acne Drug to Teen's Deadly Flight"

boston.com

This is the kid who flew his plane into the Florida skyscaper. Never mind that he had attended 11 different schools before he was a high school freshman, or that his parents had tried to kill themselves in a suicide pact before he was born.

It was all caused by his acne medication. The drug firm must pay up.
