It's interesting how Big Alcohol pushing responsibility onto individuals is a relevant allegory to most of the negatives wrought by large corporations or market segments. Lung cancer from cigarettes? Chew some gum and quit! Climate change-caused tornadoes wreaking havoc on the Midwest? Set your thermostat a couple degrees higher! Rampant deforestation threatening thousands of necessary species? Plant some flowers in your backyard so the butterflies have a place to land!

I thought government was supposed to be adversarial to CORPORATIONS, not to us.
