I would hate for people to generalize about every Haitian from something that one Haitian did, or a group of Haitians did.
No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.
Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say, 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic,' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor,' it's crucial to say that.
So you [Romans] when you have got together in a body, let yourselves be guided by those whom singly you would never think of being advised by.
Marcus Porcius Cato
What one Christian does is his own responsibility, what one Jew does is thrown back at all Jews.
Let's find out what everyone is doing, And then stop everyone from doing it.
A committee is an animal with four back legs.

Every sin is the result of collaboration.
I don't believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.
Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.
Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong
Whatever one man does, it is as if all men did it. For that reason, it is not unfair that one disobedience in a garden should contaminate all humanity; for that reason it is not unjust that the crucifixion of a single Jew should be sufficient to save it.
I do not speak of specific mistakes because when we win, we all win and when we lose we all lose, they are team mistakes.
No individual should take the blame for a loss, because no individual should get the credit for a victory.

The patrol system leads each boy to see that he has some individual responsibility for the good of his patrol.
Dog's owners don't call me. It's their neighbors or family members. We call them the whistleblowers, but it's more like the pack. It's making sure that one pack member gets in line. Before it was the owners, now it's the community.
