BLAME: Let's grow up

| December 17, 2017 12:00 AM

The Blame Game in our nation’s capitol, across the country and around the world is overwhelming. An extremely high percentage of the news revolves around childish fingerpointing.

It reminds me of a situation when my sons were 4 and 6 years of age. They got involved in an argument, which led to shoving, pushing and hitting. I walked in on them and asked what the problem was. They each blamed the other one by saying, “He started it” while trying to explain the confusing tiff. My older son said, “But what he did was Worser!”

It is time we stop the Blame Game and start acting like adults by doing what we know to be morally right.
