    Before you read this, please note ignorant is not a slur, it is a descriptive term, its not meant to offend x

    To the ignorant, a shining white tower in Disney land is magical, to the cleaner inside the fibreglass mockery, its a dirty, empty shell of an illusion.

    "Wow life, humans, the eye, DNA, isn't it all amazing ! Aren't we so special and blessed and unique and ......."

    Well, life does indeed evoke awe and wonder. For some people a v-twin ducati does too. In 2013 we know who and what we are, we know we are made of stars, which should excite you to the marrow! it is MORE magical than any disney story or scroll from a cave. it happens to be true and demonstrable too. Life, for our own survival has to be something we respect, protect, cherish, desire more of and want to share by procreation....but under the paint it is just a bunch of acids, that can be formed from thin air ! No really, even by experiment (miller), they dance and are organised together via the laws of physics in a ..... "BLASPHEMER!!!"

    everything looks magical until you unscrew the case.......

    Do not all charms fly
    At the mere touch of cold philosophy?
    There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:
    We know her woof, her texture; she is given
    In the dull catalogue of common things.
    Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings,
    Conquer all mysteries by rule and line,
    Empty the haunted air, and gnomèd mine—
    Unweave a rainbow, as it erewhile made The tender-person'd Lamia melt into a shade.

    Lamia by John Keates - 1820

    The thought was crossing my mind because I was reading about abortion. If in 20 years we could choose to alter genes in vitro and stop a baby being born with a congenital abnormality.... Would you say yes to that offer? I would....

    Would you say yes to an abortion in 2013, once knowing that the foetus had a congenital malformation, with the plan to try again for another baby?

    ....Both are the exact same thing, in both cases the dna that makes that individual, THAT individual is simply rearranged. The instruments will just cost more in 20 years time..... But what's the difference? I'm sat in the fibreglass tower and the people clapping at the Disney land tower think I just don't get it.... I'm looking at the tower and imaging all the things we could fix and build if they would just let us be honest about what it is.

    It was the inspiration for the title of Dawkins' "Unweaving the Rainbow".

    Knowing how it works makes life, the universe and everything even more amazing.

    Ps.. I'm no builder or saviour..... I mean to say, the potential is immense if we would all just grow up.

    Snare. What about the thin-end-of-the-wedge arguments?

    Would it spell the end of gingers?

    We can but dare to dream cofty......

    meanwhile, ask them if they really want the very alive cancer removed or if that is the thin end of the wedge?
