well arent all human life, and societies and economies in theis globalised world interdependent? doesnt action x by a lot of people have a cumilative effect on y? isnt that one of the foundations of supply and demand theory?

Sure, Schlack, we are one big spider's web. A Pigmy fart in Africa thumps the web and it reverbirates across the strands until a gale force wind sweeps through an Inuit village in the northern climes of Alaska. Irrelevent? Or do we outlaw Pigmies from farting because it will affect another? Or does human action have legitimate areas within which to act while free of collectivist drivel?;-)
