Actions have consequences, and no matter how much you may want something, if your desire is contrary to physical law, then you lose. There is also a middle ground, sometimes things involving people can be predicted in a broad manner with reasonable accuracy. ---- What crack are you smoking? First off people have roughly 1/2 of their brain devoted to nothing _but_ illogical emotional thinking. In fact it is very easy to unbalance the human brain's thinking with thousands of different drugs/chemicals. If people were acting logically then they wouldn't believe in absurdities, like the Existence of Dog, astrology, or magic. Furthermore physical laws follow mathematical principles not logical principles. Their are many instances where things that happen in physics are not logical at all, like quantum entanglement, where one particle effects the state of another particle anywhere else in the universe; or other affects of quantum mechanics where effects can occur before causes. You should probably get a handle on chaos theory. ----- "As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities." - Voltaire
