What's lost?

What's lost more so than ever before in America?  Personal responsibility - or at most its inculcation into individual character.  Always an excuse must be found for failings or tragic endings. The Monsanto award of 2 billion dollars to a couple who obviously 'abused' the insecticide over the years just frosts me.  No personal responsibility on their part.  Billions of punishment for Monsanto.

What else frosts me? The doors of the cruiser of 2 local police killed in the line of duty last year, enshrined at their memorial.  The DOORS ? of their cruiser? Bows and ribbons flown in their memory? Do these silly feel-goodies relate in any way to lack of personal responsibility?  I'll make the connection some how if it 'kills me.'
