"So are you talking about the supposed rights of insentient matter??? or are you talking about the supposed obligations of humans to rocks, mud, and water???"

The Celts believed that rivers, trees and mountains all had spirits and while they were not ascribed rights their approach to terra-forming was different because these things were sacred.

"What are you talking about? Has any university or medical facility ever recognized a "soul"? If you get cancer do we operate on your "soul"??"

G.K. Chesterton said "You can free things from alien or accidental laws, but not from the laws of their own nature.... Do not go about...encouraging triangles to break out of the prison of their three sides. If a triangle breaks out of its three sides, its life comes to a lamentable end."
