As a tree-hugging, silver-sneakered, lover of planet Earth, I asked a Unitarian Universalist minister who serves on the same advocacy network that I do if a UU may, in good conscience, wish for the justice of having a super storm blow all the Koch brothers’ mansions into the acidifying ocean.

Her answer was calm and well-reasoned: It would be more in keeping with UU principles to hope that the brothers reach an enlightened understanding of what their unbridled quest for fossil fuels is doing to the planet and act accordingly. I humbly had to agree, but wondered which outcome was more likely to happen.
