On the contrary, the point of scapegoating is to push the blame onto
another so that you can then proceed to `not worry about it' and move on
to a "happier" state. Quite useful if the happier state is your
prefered end, and in most, its paramount.

Join the crowd; happiness is nice as a side-effect but in and of itself
it doesn't feed my belly or mind. What can I say? I keep aiming for
hedonism and striking ascetism.
