Are you not responsible by his death ?

How about doing nothing?

You drive an 20 tones truck on a road without any "people crossing".
On the road, a kid fall with the bicycle and his leg is trapped on the chain
so he cant move. You have the option to brake and stop in time or to do
nothing.

As a dedicated libertarian, since there is no profit to be make by braking
you decide to do nothing.


Preventing every year that 18000 people be saved + countless pain
inflicted on others due to the libertarian miserable ideology of greed
isn't a crime like stopping the rescue crew ?

How about doing nothing?

No one has a duty to help or save anyone else in distress except those
to whom he has a contractual obligation. Such as a parent to a dependent
child or a life guard at a swimming pool to the swimmers.

The objectivist approach is not to do anything for someone who has no
value to one. Doing nothing (in the absence of a contractual duty) is no
sin.

You see, this is the reason I would recommend to open a web site with
libertarians as they opened with sexoffenders :-)

I mean, everybody must know that they live nearby an individual that won't
brake if there is no proffit to be made.
