No "blanket" "failure" crap!

Blame the people who could have done something in some of their spare time, but didn't.

I'm not talking about some people who have have such an awful single job, or 2 jobs and truly come home beat, and have their family to deal with.

Plenty of activists, and semi-activists doing stuff for decades!
