$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Laughs_Last', 'I') can see why you call this an ancient disagreement. A leader is only a leader when people follow. Because I believe that every person is responsible for his or her own actions, I place blame equally on the followers and the leaders.

This is the same reason that I believe in the American Bill of Rights with the Second Amendment; responsibility is individual.

Laughs_Last, what you aren't acknowledging is that there are natural differences in people's skills and abilities. It takes intelligence and knowledge to fully research the surgeon's background.

You can't expect much intellectual achievement out of a population that can't even locate Germany on a map.

The whole idea behind leadership, ideally, is to put in positions of authority people with exceptional abilities. The masses cede much of their own power to these people with the expectation that they will get something in return, namely, proper guidance.

The US leaders, aided by technology, have totally betrayed the trust of the people, who are after all easy to take advantage of.

That's why ultimately I blame the leaders, who have shaped this society's direction.
