Can A Leftie Flapping His Gums In California Cause A Hurricane In Maine?

You know those commercials where the guy writes a letter protesting child labor being used to make his jeans, which results in him receiving a coupon for 10% off a pair of said jeans, and winds up costing more trees to be cut down by child labor. The point of the commercials is that it’s a lot harder to have an effect on something without affecting something else. It’s a quick explanation of the Butterfly Effect. For those of you who did not get it, the title of this post is a take-off on the speech that discussed the effect in 1972.

This article reflects just such an effect. Well-intentioned humans worked hard for years to save bald eagles from extinction. Now that the birds are in vast supply, they are eating other species of animals to near extinction.

Oops. To those of you who think you are going to save the planet by decreeing which animals are to be saved, and how much of which gas can be expended, and all sorts of other regulations - what are you going to do about this one?
