Well, the problem with that is, it means there is *nothing* we can do, so why
should we even try? Trying to figure out what went wrong (which is subtly
different from assigning Blame) sometimes does lead to a change for the
better. Assigning the acts to Chaos, while strictly true, removes the hope
(and the incentive) to try to make things better.

Eventually, we'll be putting up with jackboot thugs killing our men and
evicting our women and children because, well, these things happen.

Oops, sorry, wrong conversation. Never mind. :-)
