We tend to think that people are more to blame for their acts than for their omissions.

Americans think they're the leader of the world and yet can say that they're putting their economic interests ahead of the lives of - quite possibly - tens of millions of people who over the next 50 years will die because of floods or storms or tropical diseases or whatever. I guess that sort of thing makes me angry.

I think I get angry when people cause serious suffering or don't alleviate suffering when they could.
