چکیده
I argue for three conclusions. First, responsibility skeptics are committed to the position that criminal justice system should adopt a universal nonresponsibility excuse.

In normal operation, the L1–L4 outputs display a 1-out-of-4 pattern. At each clock tick, the pattern is rotated by one position; the ...
