The attraction that we humans have for the electronic is always somewhat amazing to me.  I was going to write about that today.

(Yes, I know I should probably write something about what’s going on in Egypt, but seeing the peaceful, hope-filled, protests provoked by violence into violence in order to justify/mask repression is just too sad for me.)

So, let’s go back to the electronic.   (Avoiding, however, topics, like the jamming of the internet, and cattle prods used on humans, which both involve electricity, qualify as abuses/repression, but hardly seem to fit together into the same sentence, much less into a paragraph about the love of humans for the electronic. )

I was going to add in something about elephants.  About, for example, the oddness of my own attraction to an electronic screen, in this case my iPhone, especially to drawing on it (elephants) when truly I draw so much better on plain old paper.

(It just seems incredibly trivial in light of what’s happening in the Middle East–stones and knives and wounds and worse wounds, crack downs, heads, hearts.)
