NONSENSE FEAR OF BEING CAUGHT IN A FEAR DIVIDE

I was trying to go through the daily paper while minimising the shaking produced by the uneven movement of the bus. It's a difficult process but you tend to master things with a little practice...that is specially so when a headline like this catches your imagination...

"Removing A Single Gene Turns Rodent Into Fearless Explorer, Top-Notch Team Finds"...
This discovery may well prove applicable to humans, the report added...

So in near future we can expect this revelation to lead us to some gene therapy that will put the word fear and its synonyms "no more in use", showing them way to "museum of words".

But that's not so simple; cells in the "left" hemisphere of my brain contradicted the "right". Just imagine, the therapy becoming a reality. No doubt it will be a costly affair, affordable only to the privileged ones of the society.

As a result in a few days there will be segregated between the "fearless rich" and "timid poor"...the chances of Marx's dream of "rule of a proletariat" will become even more distant, more distant than that of the pole star...

I was enjoying, playing with weird thoughts...smiled silently, observing my brainwaves entangled in a debate with some funny logic...

"Don't you think the researchers will have to get the approval of the governments to continue this type of studies on human beings?"

I tried to continue the string...

"There will be protests, demonstrations against such studies, making it difficult for the governments to allow these activities."

After running after "senses" for hours, days and months, at times non-senses can give you a good respite, at least till you reach office and start mingling with the developments (?) related to "Volcker Report", "Bird flu", "Abu Salem"...

That may lead to anarchy. For one, nobody will fear to break the law anymore. Punishment and death cease to be deterrents to crime.

ANY ANSWER?

Clemenceau… The ship that died. But didn’t stop killing. Imagine you're the State of France. What do you do with a 27,000-tonne warship full of asbestos, PCBs, lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals, which you don't want and no European country is willing or able to scrap for you? Why, you send it off to India to be broken up by hand in a scrapyard where impoverished workers are injured and die every day? GREENPEACE, india

I AM ALIVE!

Every time I looked at the calendar I was happy, seeing the weekend coming closer. Two consecutive off days! There were so many things pending. Though I was expecting my new work profile to be consuming, but I never thought it would be so overriding. In spite of all my efforts throughout the past fortnight, I failed to manage time to blog. So, first thing I would do is to visit my favourite blogs and if possible post something, I decided. There were two tags from Jac and Aquamarine pending (almost for a month). I managed to sit and finished writing thems. But, thanks to many technical difficulties posting them remained to be a reality. Here comes another weekend and with a little time to spare, trying to post them. Here's the tag from Jac What were you doing 10 years ago? Busy cracking formulas and theories of mathematics. Five snacks you enjoy Potato chips, Aloo Bhujia, rusk, peanuts and samosas. Five songs to which you know all the lyrics Summer of 69, Best of Me, Everything I
