Set yourself on fire to change the world.
It must demand the greatest will power. It must demand selfless sacrifice. To set yourself on fire to bring attention to injustice. It still happens in our world in which we think everything is OK. (BBC: Tibetan men in ‘first self-immolations in Lhasa’) We may not need to martyr ourselves though our political system is …

At last, a way to exterminate humanity.
So the headline reads: “Male pill: gene discovery may lead to contraceptive“. Followed by a note that researchers in Edinburgh identified a gene critical for the production of healthy sperm. Mmmmm.

1/6th cancer is preventable or treatable
It is ironic that the evidence is emerging to support the observation that overpopulation is making the world dirty. The Lancet study reports that a sixth of cancer is caused by contamination. It reminds me of the whole BSE and Asian flu epidemics – too many beasts in too small a space eating processed food. …
