mckitterick | humans being bad to humans

Okay, changing my daily routine. Turned off the noon-time NPR news show for probably the first time ever. When I feel like this, it's just a bit too much to listen to reports from Iraq - like the bomb-defuser who was targeted and blown up for being good at his job... in front of a hospital.

Why isn't there any good news? Why are humans so awful to one another? Why should we want to save the human species when it's so intent on destroying itself, rotting away its core?

Off to nap for an hour before the competition.
