What exactly in what I wrote suggests throwing out centuries of jurisprudence? There are already strict liability crimes, much less recklessness or negligence crimes, as well as crimes of omission.

Also what crime were you accusing me of having committed? Unlawful proposing of legislation Morgante doesn't like?

Strict liability crimes are a travesty against justice. They really shouldn't exist; we should be looking to remove the ones we have rather than adding any more.

(GP wasn't claiming that you were literally committing a crime, rather suggesting that making it easier to convict innocent people would be a "crime" in a rhetorical sense)
