Let's see now. Your position, as I hear it, is that MT is responsible for all the babies born as a result of people who didn't use birth control.

So. Anbody who advocaes successfully against alcohol prohibition is personally responsible for all the deaths by alcohol on our nation's highways. Or would it simply be that any legislators who voted against the death penalty for anybody convicted of a DUI is personally responsible for any deaths which are caused by drivers who formerly had a DUI?

And of course anybody who advocated successfully against a total ban on all guns not in the police or military is responsible for the deaths at Columbine and elsewhere.

There's a certain logic in your position, but it frankly doesn't appeal much to me. I do think that people are responsible for their own actions, and for their decisions as to what advice they choose tol listen to and what they don't.

But I like your logic in one instance: any poster on SI who touted ADCT while it was above 40 is responsible for all my losses from having decided to buy it. Now if I can only persuade a judge and jury to accept your logic.
