JACK'S WINNING WORDS 9/27/06
“In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments; there are consequences.”
(Robert Ingersoll) These words seem appropriate when applied to the “global warming” debate. I suppose they could also be applied to decisions we make in general. ;-) Jack


N. R. BURR COMMENTS
Ingersoll's comment is somewhat deceptive. "Consequences" are results of some action, and could be classified as positive or negative results. In essence, that could be translated into "rewarding" or "punishing".

D.R. REMINDS ME
Mark Allen Powell, professor at Trinity Lutheran Seminary, said in a recent lecture: Jesus never talked about good or bad, right or wrong – only wise and foolish!
