answer:Well, of course we can influence nature. We do this on a continual basis. However, I wouldn’t guess that sacrificing the Bourgeoisie would do much in that effort, except for whatever effects might be due to slightly reducing the population. So… let’s not have any human sacrifices? Sounds reasonable to me. Lots of other things we do to affect nature, though. Consider cities that have had smog reduction regulations put in place. The impact of those laws (as well as the impact of the absence of those laws) was literally visible. Consider the effects of damming rivers – such an act changes the entire ecosystem in the surrounding watershed, drowning trees and removing some species that live there while creating new habitat for other species. We affect nature in many such ways; the effects are not always “bad”.
