Day 60: Blame game or headline game?

Today's morning news show talk: "Minneapolis bridge tragedy: Who's to blame?"

That's always the question. Who's to blame? Maybe if we blame someone it won't happen again. Or maybe it will make the tragedy make more sense. Maybe it will explain it.

Casting blame won't change the fact that it happened. In my opinion the blame game is just another headline - something else to perpetuate the story and keep it fresh. There's really only one way to explain any tragedy that occurs: sin. It's plain and simple, yet very difficult for many people to understand.

On a lighter note, I just glanced over at CNN and was confused when I read the bottom headline, "SEARCH RESUMES FOR MORE VICTIMS OF BRIDGE COLLAPSE." I read it as "rèsumès," as in pieces of paper listing accomplishments and experience (I know the accents are funky but I don't know how to do them the right way on this dang PC) rather than "resumes," as in starts up again. This is definitely telling of how much I have been thinking of my impending job search.
