Who Can We Blame???

I hear and see it every single day... people, organizations & countries... frustrated with their current situation... and desperate to assign the blame.  They express themselves with different words and actions, but all of it translates into something like this:

People

• "My life sucks!... Who can I blame?"
  
• "My marriage sucks!... Who can I blame?"
  
• "My personal finances suck!... Who can I blame?"
• "My attitude sucks!... Who can I blame?"
• "My job sucks!... Who can I blame?"
• "My company sucks!... Who can I blame?"
  
• "My boss sucks!... Who can I blame?"
  
• "My staff sucks!... Who can I blame?"
  
• "My co-workers suck!... Who can I blame?"

Organizations

• "Our revenue sucks!... Who can we blame?"
• "Our profitability sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our pipeline sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our customer service sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our sales force sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our value proposition sucks!... Who can we blame?"
• "Our industry sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  

Countries

• "Our government sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our economy sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our educational system sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our health care system sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our infrastructure sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  
• "Our environment sucks!... Who can we blame?"
  

There is no disputing the value of holding other people accountable for what they are supposed to do.  Is it more productive to spend our time, resources and focus on blaming others or is it better to accept our share of the responsibility... and Make Things Better?
