My comment on Stalin was in response to a post that suggested the Soviets arrested folks for teaching Darwinism and I thought it curious if true given Stalin’s view of Darwin’s work.
But I would ask you a question: Do the groups that so opposed the use of DDT in even the most minute amounts to kill mosquitoes bear any responsibility for the millions of malaria deaths and disabilities that followed its ban?
Does the “deep ecology” philosophy bear any guilt for those deaths since it advocates reducing the earth’s population to a fraction of what it is now, even if by “natural” means like malaria?
Lock up Big Al? Of course not, but it might be considered justice to demand that he live as he would have others live.
Should they? Yes.

Guilt didn't drive them to insanity, so it really won't affect them either way.
I have no objection to allowing the Earth's population to be reduced. Some of us want to get out of this looney-bin anyway.
I'd like to retire to one of the cloud-cities of Venus.
