The Dog Ate My Homework and Other Excuses: Guilt and Justice in the 21st Century

My premise is that nowadays individual guilt is an option, something tucked away in dim memories of biblical and other religious parables. On the other hand, collective guilt flourishes, a burden wrested from the shoulders of individuals to be redistributed among society at large. For example, the road was dry and there wasn’t any traffic, implying that whoever posted the limit was responsible for my speeding ticket.
