Letter to the editor, Santa Rosa, CA (Obviously stands for Crazy America)
Changing our DNA
EDITOR: I think it’s about time that we give up trying to reform anyone’s attitudes about gun control and racism. As President Barack Obama said the other day, that stuff is in our DNA. Yes, our DNA makes us human beings the greedy, selfish and dangerously inconsiderate people we usually are when dealing with those whom we don’t love and respect such as parents, children, friends and the like.
It’s time for the genetic engineers to work seriously on eliminating from our gnome that which makes us man(un)kind, for in the 21st century, we no longer need those primitive attributes to survive on this planet. Let us replace them with using the intelligence and wisdom that we have accumulated over the centuries to make this a better world to live in for everyone.
Yes, there will be an epic battle between those who believe as I, and those who won’t want to tamper with any part of our DNA that might endanger that outdated belief that we can depend on a supreme being for protection from one another, even though once again we have seen that it didn’t help those who were slaughtered June 17 in the house of a God.

I find it entertaining that in Northern California where people are anti GMO and anti vaccine and the contrails are the government spraying us would find government altering people's DNA to be reasonable and acceptable.
He double speaks as to how we are innately good and wise yet evil.
No mention in this letter how if certain people are altered (obviously US citizens) to be less violent how we will exist against nations who choose not to alter their DNA if such a thing is even possible. How will this be forced on people?
Of course I won't mention anything about the constitution or rights as this letter writer seems to believe the law is whatever the government and the court says it is.
Mr. Modern Eugenics has some scary thoughts.
“Never Again” means this type of person has to be exposed as the potential mass murderer they really are.
If we can change our sex then certainly we can change our DNA.
You don’t need to change. Just self-identify.
>>Mr. Modern Eugenics has some scary thoughts.<<
The LTTE is obviously extremely sarcastic. It ends with the usual mistaken understanding the results of God giving free will.
Evil may flourish but it never triumphs.
The Rat is talking eugenics.
I bet he’s fat and smelly.
That’s odd... if you asked the same moron about GMO corn, I’m betting heavily that they would spew a list of reasons that it is bad, and has so many unintended health effects, and some problems won’t show up until long-term, etc etc etc... but messing with human DNA? Well, that’s far less complex. Let’s mess around with THAT! It’s 100 percent reliable, since government will be involved!
Well, that "intelligence and wisdom we have accumulated over the centuries" did nothing to prevent those 9 who died out the 21 who were shot in Chicago this weekend - and that's pretty much a typical weekend there. I think I'll stick with God.
“Name Ommitted”
Ringing manifestos like that deserve a name after them.
What’s he fearful of? Oh yes, those dangerous rightwing believers in the Divine. Got his house GPS’d already.
I’ve reread the letter a couple of times and I agree with you that it’s sarcasm.

This letter is written by an ignorant gnome.
Only a stupid idiot would think that moral and ethical characteristics are in DNA. Greed, selfishness and inconsideration are deliberate choices of the will.
Atheistic materialists don’t accept the concept of the will. They see everything as actions of matter.
See St Thomas of Aquinas for the definition of the will.
soylent green is not far around the corner
Nor is Huxley's Brave New World.
The technology exists to implement the genetic modifications suggested. Unfortunately, few people are going to volunteer to become the deltas needed to do the dirty work. Everyone will want to become the privileged alphas. The genetic modifications being suggested will have to be imposed by force. Won't that be fun?
Ya’ gnome I’m sayin’?
All this dipstick needs to do is read the headlines coming out of the middle east to discover that those survival traits are as necessary now as ever.
