Miss Z, in RARE situations, I would agree. However, not most of the time. I think people just like the drama. Yes, even when it comes to animals. Some people just have to have drama in their lives, or play the victim "I can't do anything about it..." usually followed by tons of back tracking.

As I have said before, most of these people that Casey's mom is ranting about can/do whatever they like in 90 million other situations. But, all of a sudden, "oh, I can't do this/that/anything". Makes me furious, AND, doesn't bode well for that individual.

It is ALL about personal accountability/responsibility.
