I don't blame the suppliers as much as the buyers. On drugs or diamonds, the only value they have is what the buyers put on it. If the buyers stopped tomorrow, the buyers would disappear.

But we all know that personal responsibility isn't exactly your bag. Much easier to blame an outsider for your failures, eh?
