Feeling safe, still ignoring the news..

It is amazing how ignoring the media makes me feel like I live in safer world. Is this how others deal with the world? just by ignoring it? I will do this for a few more days then I'll jump back into the muck of things, then maybe not.


For this post I was originally going to use a pencil drawing of a man with his head in the sand I found googling for such a picture. But when I saw the source of the picture, a blog which the blogger was defending Richard Dawkins and defending eugenics, while denying Richard Dawkins promotes eugenics and herself calling eugenics "Genetic engineering." In her own words:
 

The idea is once a couple (any couple) decides to breed, they can select which copies of their own genes can be used to form their child. This technology could be used to weed out genes that increase the likelihood of cancer, or arthritis, or hereditary brain disorders. But should it be used for aesthetic reasons like height, build, or eye-colour? Should it be used for general fitness or mental capacity or artistic creativity? Should there be limits to selecting gender?

Why can we not venture to ask the question?

This is a person, who herself has the inability to read and understand history, for these question have already been asked and the answers always lead to death. This poor soul has drawn her own self portrait with her blog punctuating it with the drawing of the man with his head in the sand. She not only ignores truth, but history and those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.




Of course that is old news and I still refuse to venture today into what the media calls current news.
