   Whoa!!!!   
      
   It's not constructive for us to expect people to at least have some idea of   
   the consequences for their actions?  Have you really thought that statement   
   out???!!!

   The inability to understand that what we do may have far reaching and   
   unintended consequences to ourselves and others.
