The sense of personal responsibility Americans once had seems to have been
long lost now. It seems the generation that came of age just before the
Great Depression were the last ones to show this to any significant degree.
Shaeffer's antics confirm to me that he doesn't have such a sense of
responsibility.

I've tried to drill into my family:
Mistakes are expected. It's not so much the mistake that matters as much as
how you deal with the mistake.

"Confess, say you're sorry, take your lumps." I'd add "and learn from it".
