# A from Philadelphia takes responsibility for:

I did not write my first novel by 30 like I planned. I am 35. Still no book.

# Chris from Hillside takes responsibility for:

I have failed to really push my school district to raise the student standards because I feared for my own job.

# Trevs from Seattle, WA takes responsibility for:

I work on an environmental website but still get lazy sometimes and drive my car to work despite having a free bus pass.

# Eric from Portland, OR takes responsibility for:

I'm 30 and since I was a kid, my daily showers average around 25 minutes. Sometimes I nap while the hot water runs over me. Wasted resources/energy = failure.

# Jessica from San Francisco takes responsibility for:

Not fighting back while (someone) tore the world apart.

# Diane from North Carolina takes responsibility for:

I'm sorry I waited so long to start riding the bus. I should have considered my carbon footprint long before now.

# Publising Corporate Whore from Bloomington, IN takes responsibility for:

I own up to the fact that I told endless lies, from at least 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for my company for almost a year. Lies like, "Your royalty check was mailed this morning" or "The FTP site will be working this afternoon" or "Of course you book will be ready in time for x." I deeply regret lying to generate profit for a company that was thinking only of its own profits and was busy working its disposable employees into the ground. I also lied about Amazon.com policies, about my abilities to generate change to benefit the clients, and the work ethic of the designers creating their books.

# Aaron from Austin, Tx takes responsibility for:

I caused the stock market to tank by trying to sell my house. :-(

# Melissa from St. Louis takes responsibility for:

# Melissa from North Carolina takes responsibility for:

I hate my job and have nothing but contempt for my company, but am too bound by the desire to have "stuff" and to be "financially comfortable" that I won't take one that pays less but that would make me happier. It's pathetic really.

# Volkslover from Austin, TX takes responsibility for:

I have failed to change my commuting habits. I enjoy the act of racing around in my car, even when I know riding my bike is better for everyone.

# Holland from Nashville takes responsibility for:

I own not only the failure of my generation, but the failure of generations before me that allowed pop culture to take over and make us all sheep, content with the substandard, sensationalized triteness the media gives us. ba-aa-aa-aa-aah!

# Geena from College Station, TX takes responsibility for:

I own up to not being myself lately. Huh. How do you own up to that one if you're not yourself? That's a bit of an ironic conundrum.

I also own up to not writing everyday when it's one of the FEW things I am truly good at it. Thinking about how much any -ANY- author wrote back in the typewriters days, or God forbid, the quill and ink days makes me feel not only terribly ungrateful for the resources I have but also like a complete lazy ass.

# Jeff from Chicago takes responsibility for:

We have ancient appliances, so we either contribute to global warming or contribute to the nation's overwhelming consumer debt. Give us a double lashing.

# John from San Francisco, CA takes responsibility for:

I have failed to help Democrats understand that "failure" is too vague, and without specifics, is a meaningless statement.

# Beth from Washington, DC takes responsibility for:

I will claim the failure to keep oil prices low. I like to think of myself as an all-powerful being, even in spite of all the evidence that I am nothing but a cog. Maybe getting the blame for high oil prices will bring my dream of ruling the world closer to reality. And I like taking credit for making more people take transit, move out of the exurbs and buy more practical cars.

# Rob from Selloutsville, VA takes responsibility for:

I contribute to the nullification of employment in some fashion because I work for a Japanese company that makes automotive parts in the US and ships them to Mexico to make "Japanese" cars, which are then shipped to the US for sale. I'm also owning corporate whoring too.

# j. kerry from boston, ma takes responsibility for:

i'll take the spanking for those damn swift boaters!
