More than just a Frankenstein

It's the nature of the beast to fear the unknown and the different, there is a long history of it fabled in song and story.



But the moral of that story is that brutes like Frankenstein's Monster are more misunderstood by fear and only a threat when provoked. The analogy also works with Promicin Positives since it's just a self-fulling prophecy when you declared a whole group just because of a worst case senario of what they "might" do.



Also to try and turn every new advancement into a weapon as the military industrial complex has been doing for decades is a recipe for inviting disaster. Dr. Angelo's research was showing great promise in overcoming Job's genetic damage and his enviromental disadvantages to further his evolutionary development. It was only through governmental interference that the experiment was perverted into the worst case senario that could've been a positive breakthrough if left unimpeded. Job wasn't givine the chance to learn self discipline to be able to harness his gifts effectively.



Mostly what it comes down to is control and as Pink Floyd so aptly put it "With, without. And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?" since it's easier to conquer if you divide everyone into "Us and Them" then callously order "Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died. And the general sat and the lines on the map moved from side to side." Even easier if you declare Promicin Positives as not human and strip of them of the most basic rights. Are we not men? and as Shylock proclaimed If you prick us do we not bleed? If you tickle us do we not laugh? If you poison us do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?

That's the self-fulfilling prophecy that fear breeds and it will only lead to the kind of situations that the NSA says they want to protect against but will give them the excuse to exert the kind of control they crave and grab the power they seek.



My wife was initially was against my taking Promicin because of the high 50/50 risk but eventually she came around because the stakes of doing nothing and getting caught in the crossfire were just as great. It's a cliche but still just as true as when it was first illustrated that "With great power, there must also come great responsibility!" so that with all the power that having an ability to defend yourself with gives you, it also entails using enough self discipline to harness it effectively.
