Does Action have Consequence?
Simple question that I am pretty sure most would agree it does. Even our Republican friends would probably agree action does indeed have consequence. Maybe even going as far as agreeing that Human Actions have Consequence. :think: So would it then be possible that if enough humans filled the sky with pollutants there might be some consequence.. No of course not that would be silly. No way people could ever effect the Climate, how absurd....

4. All actions, even the act of not acting, have consequences. When
talking to rw idiots remember that they are firm believers in everyone taking the consequences of their own sinful action, i.e. unwed mothers. Even people who make a poor choice.


When dealing with global warming ask them why overindulgence in nature would not also have consequences? We cut all the trees along the banks of rivers in Iowa and the top soil ends up in the Delta area. We over graze and the pasture dies. We cut the trees and the water level drops. We pour poisons into the ground and they end up in the aquifer and we no longer have clean drinking water. We build a hugh city and everyone burns coal - we end up with smog and cannot breathe (London years ago). We paint a building with lead based paint and children are damaged.

They are in denial of their own faith if they do not believe that man can cause blowback both in war and in nature.

5. The elders of the Iroquois Confederacy
would say not only do actions have consequences, but it is our duty to examine our actions and predict the consequences not only to us but to seven generations beyond us.
