responsibility...

where does one draw the line on responsibility? i'm just wondering. i just heard a news report about a woman suing the bar and the bartender who served the guy who drove drunk and hit her 12-13 shots. tragic no matter how you look at it but where does the responsibility lie?

i serve up food to chubby folk like myself all the time. does that make me responsible for their obesity? or what if they choke on the bread stick i suggested they order and die? is that on me?

i seldom serve a minor without an adult present as most folks dine as a family. and the chubby adults i serve order what they want more often then what they need. they are responsible enough to do so. food/drink whatever it is we make decisions and i've never known a decision --even a simple one-- to not have a consequence. but how far back does the blame go?

the person that drinks and drives and causes an accident (imo) is the one responsible. the buck stops there.

sadly i feel too many choose to look elsewhere to place blame...and the pessimist in me wonders about the true motive behind most claims.

be responsible.
