I started off being sceptical that this was a freedom worth caring about, but congratulations: you had me fully convinced by the end. (Although, in my case you’re pushing at an open door).
Footnote five, however: you may be overstating here. Presumably the victims family Googled the name of the proposed new carer. If past offences were committed under another name, this would’ve gone undetected…
Doesn’t change your overall case, but is fair to point out
Just read the Velleman article you link to. Hadn't seen that one before. Characteristically brilliant on the philosophy, but it does strike me as fatally flawed in quite a few respects. Feel free to email me over any links to other things on that topic that you think I should know.
