Historical horrors

Anyone who takes even a quick look at history will notice that there have been some amazingly horrific events that have taken place. Holocausts of every nature: human, environmental, and even intellectual. Who the hell is responsible for the mayhem that has been inflicted? Governments? Those institutions from small tribal councils to unweildy, blind senates of every imaginable size and conceit? Or are we responsible as individuals? For sitting back and doing nothing - or worse, seeing nothing. Do we allow institutions (which we claim to control) to dish us small portions of pleasure while turning blind eyes to the battering some of us take, each and every day, in order to keep that power in place? Whose fault, really, is genocide?
