[QUOTE="RLR, post: 213775, member: 486"] Obviously. So everyone has what - 0.00001% of the blame? In such a distribution of a blame, it's not hard to be the most responsible individual - while also being meaningless in the big picture. So yes, it's a bit of a crafty political statement on my part. But technically, I think it's still valid. Please note that I limited the scope to Georgia's collapse. If you want to have a full debate of what caused the crisis, I'm game. But it would take about 25 pages to get even a broad overview. That said, there are some people who are objectively bad actors in the collapse. Ignore the morality and just follow the money trail. If you aren't familiar with Ehrhart's history, I suggest you look up. . . he's not as good as scrubbing information as he thinks. But more importantly, he started it. Ehrhart shouldn't start a culture war if he can't withstand the retaliation. His attacked was called off within 24 hours. That should tell you about GT's growing clout.
