At what point does an adult take responsibility for her own actions? Sandy Bergen sued the provider of the drugs she overdosed on as "a way of holding him responsible." She purchased the drugs, she overdosed on the drugs, she suffered a heart attack and became comatose because of the drugs. Yet, somehow, she is not culpable for her actions? Sadly, this story illustrates exactly what is wrong with society today: nobody takes responsibility for their choices. They would rather blame someone else.
