the cat eats the rat

You know the old favorite (sung to the tune of the Farmer in the Dell)

the ceo of ibm, the ceo of ibm, he is the boss, the ceo of ibm
the ceo hollars at the vp, the ceo hollars at the vp, he is the boss, the ceo hollars at the vp
the vp hollars at the middle manager, the vp hollars at the middle manager, she is the boss, the vp hollars at the middle manager
the middle manager hollars at the programmer, the middle manager hollars at the programmer, she is the boss, the middle manager hollars at the programmer
the programmer hollars at his spouse, the programmer hollars at his spouse, he is the boss, the programmer hollars at his spouse
the spouse hollars at the child, the spouse hollars at the child, she is the boss, the spouse hollars at the child
the child hollars at the dog, the child hollars at the dog, he is the boss, the child hollars at the dog
the dog chases the cat, the dog chases the cat, she is the boss, the dog chases the cat
the cat eats the rat, the cat eats the rat, he is the boss, the cat eats the rat

Poor rat. So who is responsible for the rat's death? I think all of them. At any link, the chain could have been broken. We like to blame the one above and true they have acted problematic but we all hold responsibility for our actions.
