We wept.

Today's Tids Issue 2,813
Opening Stuff:

By now, we have heard the repetition of all of the words. "Cowardly act", "Turn  over every rock". We have seen kindness amidst horror. We have seen tireless medical teams putting people back together. We've cried with marathon finisher William Richard, the father of 8 year old Martin who was killed; His 6 year old daughter who lost a leg: His wife Denise who underwent grievous brain surgery. We have stood and wondered, what has happened to America. These uncivilized attacks on innocents are only supposed to happen in Iraq, Pakistan. 

I heard of a PhD field called "Evolutionary Biology" which is supposed to be the study of apes becoming man. I think the time and energy would be better spent discovering why man is returning to his origins, becoming once again savage beasts. Is this the natural cycle? Is hatred overwhelming love? Frankly, I just don't get it.

The Question:
How many genes are there in average in the human body?

The Headlines:
--American Stunned; Boston Marathon Injuries Over 150; American Kindness Stands Out After Act By Monster.
--Wall Street Opens Higher; Carves Into Monday's Big Loss.

It's hard to write the Tids when you are thinking of people lying on the sidewalk, bleeding; among limbs of other innocents. Terrorism is about making people feel uncomfortable in the future.

How come the big chain pizza makers spend most of their time inventing gimmick pizzas instead of perfecting good basic pies?

How do you figure out the perfect moment to have nothing invested in the stock market?

How much security do you think they'll have at the Kentucky Derby and The Indy 500, the next to big crowd filled national events.

I liked the world better when everything slowly evolved. When things you liked didn't fade from existence with a click.

The Answer:
There are 22,000 different genes in each body. They determine color of eyes shape of face. They can provide evidence of tendencies towards developing difference diseases. Is there one in there that could be isolated to eliminate hatred in man?

A bluebird sang on Copley Square.
A lilting dirge for those, who perished there.
For the injured loved, a song of hope
Inspiring melody, for those who must cope.
For all those who ran to help, without delays
A magnificent anthem of rightly praise.
