+Driving all blames into oneself applies whenever we complain about anything,
+even that our coffee is cold or the bathroom is dirty.  We may think that we
+are the voice of the world, that we are speaking on behalf of others, but we
+are simply speaking on behalf of ourselves.  According to this slogan,

+us--we are actually inviting the bullets.
