I was listening to someone being interviewed on the radio this morning, and he said that we are now a 'victim' society. His reasoning is that when things go wrong we always look round for somebody to blame. Sueing local authorities when we trip, MacDonalds when we burn ourselves on our coffee, British American Tobacco when we get lung cancer, etc etc.
I must admit that I largely sympathise with this point of view as one of my favourite complaints is, 'Everybody seems to know their rights, but very few know their responsibilities'
