You are responsible for your behaviour.
Jay Nordlinger recently went to India, and National Review Online is in the middle of publishing a series of his travel writings. In today's installment is this little gem:
In a hotel in Jodhpur, I take the backstairs, being somewhat confused. It is a place for employees. And I see an admonition a declaration painted on the wall: You are responsible for your behaviour. I think: How un-American. Completely unlike modern America, where you are never responsible for your behavior: Someone else is. You know, the government, George Bush, Enron, society, your doctor, your mother, your father, asbestos The Man.
You are responsible for your behaviour. What a shocking concept, alien to my own country, at least as I have known it.
