Freedom only can exist when we accept the responsibility that comes with it. We learn about consequences ideally as children.  It is ignoring our responsibilities that ultimately costs us our freedom. Whether it is as an individual or as a country.

With out freedom to fail there is no freedom at all.

 If everyone accepted responsibility for themselves there would be plenty of unnecessary altruism.

God help me I agree with Waffler.

Climate change is not fact or science.  It is politics. When the left grabs on to a theory they think can be twisted into a political football they make it impossible to make a reasoned and informed argument because those that swallow the propaganda can no longer reason.  It is a perfect example how the left works.  A few years ago, when man made climate changed was debunked, the research centers were caught in fraudulent acts trying to support the propaganda. The last debate that I know of happened in England.  Audience belief in it was at 76%.  After the global warming debaters were destroyed in the debate, the audience polled at 35% belief in it.  Instantly the left declared that the debate was now over, global warming was no longer a theory but now a fact. Al Gore declared it was time to start working on ways to punish deniers for their refusing accept ''the facts".

She escaped Wafflers world because it was frightening.  We are not ants.  To force us to live like it would destroy lives spiritually and probably physically also.
