Our culture increasingly adopts the view that we're leaves helplessly floating on a current we've got no control over. Headlines will say an SUV killed 6 people and injured dozens of others. I heard someone recently say their car got in an accident, as if inanimate objects make poor decisions.
Anyone blaming inanimate objects is either profoundly stupid, or horribly corrupt, both of which are disqualifying attributes of journalism or leadership.
