Graven Images by Paul Hein

Dr. Paul Hein writes:

"How absurd must life become before we begin to see things in their proper perspective? We’re kept trembling with fear from possible exposure to Alar, or DDT, or cyclamate (but never fluoride!) or Saddam Hussein, or some other pipsqueak tyrant (but never our own government!)... There seems to be some sort of deep-seated human instinct to be afraid of things: a fear upon which our rulers capitalize with gusto. But we seem oblivious to genuine danger... allowing ourselves, instead, to be afraid of shadows, or the possibility of the threat of shadows!"
