Just to note, just because the law of responsibility is in effect at all times, it doesn't necessarily logically follow that all people of any age in all situations have the same percentage of responsibility. Perhaps this may or may not be how reality works, but I don't find clarification in the Ra material.
In fact, I find that Ra's discussions of how free will can be fully or partially infringed upon, from his discussions about how negatives tip-toe around total infringement, may indicate that in fact that the law of responsibility does in fact include the concept of partial responsibility.
There are countless situations one can construct where someone is less than 100% responsible, yet still be responsible. I would interested in whether anyone else had any thoughts in the matter: Would the law of responsibility operate identically in situations where you kill your best friend out of anger, as opposed to killing your best friend because a drug-lord threatened to kill your family if you did not?
