Ouch - that's a really nasty one. Personally, I think we have a responsibilty to try to avoid situations where our actions might have a deleterious effect on others. However, if it happens by accident, I don't thinl we should blame ourselves too much.

Supposing; I was putting up shelves with a friend, and holding the ladder. I leave go, the ladder falls, the friend breaks a leg. Wrong way to handle it; Burst into tears, start wringing my hands, and then make his / her life a misery for the next six weeks by apologising every five minutes. Right way; Apologise once, call an ambulance, and then make sure he/she is well looked after until they heal, withoubeing too much of a pain about it.

So, for the rebel songs; be careful, judge your audience; if, by accident, you get it wrong and there is trouble, do what you can to help.
