Who can put the blame on him? ;-)

When I was in high school, it was a prescriptive rule that _blame_
could *not* be used as a verb. It's too bad that I didn't have an
example such as this one, at the time.

Once that we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity,
or evil intent, we can uncumber ourselves of the impossible burden of
trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition
that we could be in error, without necessarily deeming ourselves
idiotic or unworthy.
