And what type of retrubutions are you suggesting? Fines or incarceration? If we start incarcerating people for ingnorances, we better start building a lot more prisons. There was no intent, no malice, just ignorance.


ig·no·rance

–noun the state or fact of being ignorant; lack of knowledge, learning, information, etc.
