All European tradition, Marxism included, has conspired to defy the natural order of all things. Mother Earth has been abused, the powers have been abused, and this cannot go on forever. No theory can alter that simple fact. Mother Earth will retaliate, the whole environment will retaliate, and the abusers will be eliminated.

(17,320 posts)the human race is reducing the Earth's capabilities to adequately support it's life forms. Earth itself, will simply continue to spin it's way toward the oblivion as the Sun turns into a red giant in about 7+ billion years from now regardless of the effects of human activities. We are definitely "bit players" in the Earth's 12 billion year existence. By that time, there will be no observable trace of the Earth or the Solar system. Only the red glow of our Sun's dying flames as it heads toward it's own destiny black hole. After that, who knows? Perhaps another "big bang" and a new Universe starts over.

"To return like for like, especially evil for evil."
There is no definition that you can find and present that says anything about "consciousness."

(19,497 posts)This seems to support my contention.
Retaliation is a deliberate act. A non-deliberate act following an earlier act would be a consequence.
But to return evil for evil would require an awareness of evil and an ability to choose from a variety of options, one that was evil.
All these things bespeak consciousness, particularly one aligned towards morality.

Please PM me the winning Powerball numbers immediately, so I can buy a big chunk of land and set it aside as a nature preserve.
Thanks!

(27,670 posts)I wish there was some way we could stop them; but they seem very intent on trying to destroy the earth.
It is a terrible thing to comprehend, how they can, without feeling any remorse whatsoever, destroy any living thing that is in the way of their insane, ravenous appetites so casually.
