WELCOME

Welcome to my blog. It is called Eaves-droppings because many of my short pieces arise from comments I overhear in public places. These comments trigger ideas, thoughts, recollections and even stories. Some are pure stimulus-response, stream of concsiousness reactions.

Cellphones have made my field of observation much richer.

I hope you will enjoy my wandering through public places.

Contact me at ronp70000@aol.com with your comments and observations.

This story is based on three recent scientific findings - that Empathy is a result of two genes, that genes can be changed by a technology called CRISPR and that the majority of people in prison lack the empathy gene. If we now have the capability to change a person's genetic makeup and return people to the human race, how can we not do that?
The ramifications of trying to bring this change to all eligible prisoners are enormous!
