Butterfly effect

What’s a butterfly effect? “Unknown consequences of seemingly irrelevant action.” Does the triumph of Scott Walker in Wisconsin and restriction of Unions in California come to mind signaling the end of the big “O”? Actually reading about birds, I’ve noted that nature and a little nurture from human intervention, beat pure nature every time. An ornithologist and writer notes that her Carolina Wrens over a period of 7 years produced 335 fledglings (with security and some help from her). She also notes that over a period of 7 years, her blue birds freed 53 offspring. Likewise, with humane care, our beloved pets can live long lives devoted to us as we download joy and satisfaction from them. My neighbor’s beloved cat is past 20. Many beloved Civil War horses that followed their masters’ hearses lived long lives.
