Ideas Have Consequences, by Richard M Weaver

The Importance of Ideas

The human beings that settled the New World
were the same species of humans that remained in Europe.
But America became extraordinary,
while Europe stagnated under monarchy and socialism.
The difference was ideas.
Ideas have consequences.

These same ideas can have consequences in your life.
  1. ideas have consequences
    1. A positive blueprint - an inspiration  - "I have an idea!"
    2. bad ideas are an obstacle
      e.g., communism / homosexual rights / ShariahLaw is "inevitable"
