That's right. But we're discussing something that I can have no
influence onto. Being a child, especially a toddler, I cannot properly
call my dad's or my mom's attention that they (not me, see?!) left me in
the car under the scorching sun.
The state gets to make decisions for you and eventually you end in the
position where everything not prohibited is requited. Hell even God
allows for free will.
There is a very interesting piece written by Stanislaw Lem on the subject.
I was thinking about this very notion the other day, Peter. Consider "do
not steal" commandment. Stealing is bad, but by yours and Bob W's logic
it should be abolished. As a grown up adult it is my responsibility to
keep my belongings in a way that they don't get stolen. And I cannot
project my rightfulness or decency onto others. If they want to steal,
let them. The next step is of course getting rid of IRS or whatever it
is called in your country.
You don't have to answer to the above, unless you want to. But I pray
you spend a moment and think about it a bit.
