A Ronald Reagan Quote

"We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, 
society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.  It is time to
restore the American precept that each individual is 
accountable for his actions."       Ronald Reagan


Sometimes when tragic events take place that are the result
of the actions of criminals, or careless, thoughtless, angry or
emotionally/mentally disturbed persons; some, among us, 
choose to blame society.  Perhaps they point out something
that we may consider "food for thought."  However, in the final 
analysis,  it is the one who pulled the trigger, planted the bomb
or committed some other atrocity who is responsible.  We are 
aware that someone may have helped, supplied or financed 
the wrongdoing.  Nevertheless, they do not comprise all of 
society.  No, society is not responsible.  RD
