ACCOUNTABILITY

This has to do with something done half-ass. We say a lot of things in life, although when the time comes to actually doing the act-- it doesn't materialize into anything. Reporting an event-- that does not occur.  A sports-team which talks a good-game-- but keeps on losing. Politicians who promise improvements in a campaign-- alas, when elected does none of them.  Pitching a tent with no poles-- all hype and no substance. Counter-productive, standing in the way of progress; a burden to others, messy, etc.
