Hi Marsha Is it possible to put personal responsiblílity upon a rock being a rock? Can you blame a squid for being a squid? Are the people on the Andaman Islands guilty for their culture?
A person equal to the occasion with personal free will has his moral value concepts for what is right and wrong in his view but a kid that doesn't know all yet and is doing just what it is told can't be held responsible in the same way. Thats the difference between adults and infants. We are free to build our own personality or not. An adult individual is supposed to use his mental freedom. We are responsible for the moral we freely build by ourselves. We are responsible for the values that we freely can change by our own mind. Our moral values are our only property and nobody elses business unless we don't harm anyone else. Moral values that is not our own is not connected with free will. We can for example not be held responsible for race, color or sexual values. I can see that there is an interest by those who try to make us believe that there is no difference here wants us back to the sheep state so they can play the leaders. But why should we trust people that deny responsibility? Now I'm going to take a ride on my new horse. I got her cheap because they said she's nervous but I think she can dance. That's dynamic.
