Are we responsible for our actions?

I went to see the movie, Iron Man, this afternoon. It was a good movie and there was a message to be taken away from the theater. "Are we responsible for the events and actions that follow the decisions we make?" I don't want to ruin the movie for you but Tony Stark has to come to grips with what he has set in motion. He has to decide if what he set in motion is something he has to settle.

It made think about the number of times that we spend money foolishly and don't think about stewardship. It made me think about the environment and the way we burn energy and throw away consumables. Do we have a responsibility for the future welfare of those who follow us?

I think we all know the answer is yes. We just don't like to think about it. Well maybe it is time to do so. We c an make a tremendous difference in this world if we take responsibility for our actions.
