Huh. I forget that people assign values and intention to things like that... yay ivory tower? (Much like that one-month summer intro philosophy class I took, in which it took 3 weeks for a bunch of the boys to realize that no, the teacher didn't actually espouse the viewpoints she was presenting to us, that these were just "what some old dead guys said", and they didn't actually need to argue her out of these obviously erroneous opinions after all. *siiiiiiiiigh* MENTAL FLEXIBILITY, PEOPLE.)
It's also a lot like those people who declare they only eat "natural" things because "natural = good". To the extreme of "everything natural = good, because natural = good". Sometimes "green = good", therefore I am a vegetarian (of the "eat just salads" type, not the "plan out a balanced vegan diet" type). Stay away from unnatural "vitamin pills", just take herbal capsules! Natural disasters are just nature's way of dealing with humans overrunning the Earth! And of course, conveniently, these tend to be people who've never actually experienced a natural disaster. I want to feed them hemlock and sprouted potatoes.
