The news is horrifying, isn't it?
I just tried to read/look at the front page of a "news" website as I was eating lunch. My stomach started to do somersaults, my gag reflex kicked in and I had to navigate away so that I could eat.
But maybe it'd be better if I didn't eat at all. I could lose a few pounds. New diet! Read the news while you eat! It's a highly effective appetite suppressant! I could run ads for my new diet secret that say something like, "Lose stomach fat with one word: OBEY." But just change obey to NEWS. And then make people pay me for the particulars of my dieting secret.
My main question is, do I need to know the particulars of every evil, vile, horrific, disgusting, infernal low down thing that's happening in the world?
I just deleted an entire page of my ramblings about evil and stuff. You would have loved it, but it was WAY out there and off topic, and probably somewhat annoying. So I'm sparing you, in case you didn't like it.
I live to please.

Just read The God Machine. Very nice. You wrote the male character and science believably, from my male, scientific perspective. Couple of odd spots where a sentence seems to be out of place or half-finished, but the descriptive language and the story itself are wonderful. Kudos to you!
Thank you. I recommend Life Feeds.
