thoughts on scapegoats



i found myself very inspired by Monday's scapegoating presenters. the concept of a scapegoat is as old as the human race itself and that is very extrodinary. for centuries, since the dawn of time, we humans have been unable to admit our own fault and take responibility for our actions! that is absolutely incredible to me, yet the evidence is there...every single country at some point has placed blame on a certain group of people...the nazis blame the jews, the americans blame the blacks-the list goes on forever-everyday we let someone else fall for our doings...even drinking a beer after a long day of work or a bad day in general-we can't quite make it without letting someone else take the fall. i admit after a hard day, i will drink a beer without hesitation and feel better by taking out my frustrations on that beer. think about it, everything we use to de-stress is some-sort of metaphorical scapegoat, think about that next time you sip a bud or a scape goat pale ale from our very own big sky brewing...
