I'm not sure why the editor even PUBLISHED that article.  What a
poorly-written, smug, and self-serving heap of sanctimonious tripe.
Do you REALLY think he got death threats?  I suppose it's possible,
but I doubt it.

It reminds me of an alcoholic co-worker who fell off the wagon.  He
looked me in the eye and said, "It's all YOUR fault-- you drove me to
drink."  My response?  "I don't even own a car!"

A book I've been looking over seems highly applicable... "Mistakes
Were Made (But Not by Me): Why We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad
Decisions, and Hurtful Acts"

This article is a prime example of cognitive dissonance in action, for sure.
