Great Excuses Throughout History

1600: The Devil made me do it!

1800: My ancestry made me do it!

1950: My upbringing made me do it!

1980: Twinkies made me do it!

2000: My genes made me do it!

2008: Global warming made me do it!

So...if the threat of global warming justifies vandalizing a coal power plant, does the threat of the worldwide obesity epidemic justify me stealing from McDonald's? After all, every fry I eat is one that won't one go to padding the butts of some 600-pounder. It's worth a shot, I suppose.
