Re #18: do you apply that argument to crimes like murder? "Anything done
from this point on has to accept that that has happened, and nothing can
undo it." So, what should be done about it? Just move on and forget about
the past? You recommend that for murderers too?

All of our treatment of criminal events are after the fact. But it is
still necessary to assign culpability and apply suitable punishment in
order to help maintain some level of civil responsibility.
