Nicely said, Kim! Kendall, blaming things on acts of God is another variant of the same shtick -- surely one most often chooses how to deal with snowstorms.

There is certainly, on the other side, those who use truth as a bludgeon, without any sense of consequences and I suppose as in most things there is a balance between being brutal and being overly-timid. Maybe the criteria should be whether the remark is true, necessary and helpful.
