You never had to raise children and teach thme about rigt and wrong and teach them to unerstand the ramifications of their choices? They are not born with it.
Even if I grant that all infants are innocent, that then leaves no special role for Mary in that case.
The case of the infant or insane or retared person who does not sin because he lacks the capacity to do so makes the Bible's "All have sinned" a less-than-absolute statement. It allows exceptions.
Mary can be an exception. Mary can be without sin and not violate this Biblical passage because it is meant to apply to most every, but not all occassions and people.
Raised four of my own, two sons and two daughters. Teaching them right was always the problem... They always seemed to find the wrong on their own. :D

But man is not the arbiter thereof. That is Jehovah's to decide, and barring any exceptions pronounced by Him, I will go with what He has determined... Namely that ALL have sinned...
Mary can be an exception. Mary can be without sin and not violate this Biblical passage because it is meant to apply to most every, but not all occassions and people.
But there is no need for the exception, there is no record of the exception, and there is proof against that exception, in Mary's own words.
