Excuse me But where do the WoMD come from? Or the pollution that is changing the enviroment? If these do no come from Humans and Humans actions Where do they come from then? The Fact that they exist because of Humans and their actions defy the logic used in the above statement. Now if examples of hurricanes, tornados, storms, tides rising and falling, etc. were used I could see where the logic was coming from.
I believe both you and Yorick miss the point of domination, donimate, or have dominion. Check out the first in the definition Yorick gave : Rule, control both of those by nature require RESPONSIBILITY for ones actions, "HALE" they DEMAND it. In fact all of the definitions demand responability to one degree or another.
