Metaphysical question: If someone can't remember committing a crime, are they guilty?

[ProfessorPlum]

Because it seems to me we are going to have an awful lot of convicted GOP amnesiacs pretty soon.

1. Isn't there a drug they give to PTSD victims that wipes their memories?

Perhaps Republicans are lining up for shots?

[Donnachaidh]

2. I've never heard of that sort of shot.

But the rampant *selective amnesia* the Bush Regime suffers from must also be the only illness that occurs solely in political parties. :sarcasm:

[niyad]

7. if you actually know of such a drug, PLEASE let those of us working with PTSD victims know about it-

would certainly have made my job easier these last 35 years.

3. If they are a CON, of course not.

[jobycom]

4. LOL! Nice. nt

[ComerPerro]

5. maybe not, but they should be institutionalized because they are potentially dangerous to themselves

and others

[seemunkee]

6. They still performed the act

[bmbmd]

8. Well, what if a man

cheated on his wife, lived with a gay couple, and was pro-abortion but then changed his mind and was forgiven-wouldn't he be okay to be president?

9. Many people commit crimes while under the influence

of alcohol and can't remember. I think they should still be held responsible. Even more so for public officials, because hopefully they weren't drunk when they committed their crimes and were totally conscious.
