can the beebers rain on every parade?In this report the BBC has the story of a blind man who, thanks to some new operation, forty years after he lost his sight can now see again. Think about it, that's nothing short of miraculous, right? The BBC ends the piece focusing on this man's fears: Before the operation he had been a keen skier, using verbal directions as a guide.Here's a stupid question, if he's so afraid to rely on his eyes (a fear which is totally understandable considerings his depth perception isn't very good), why doesn't he close his eyes when doing these activities and rely on the same things he used to rely on? UPDATE - More BBC bad news: Andrew Sullivan has this shocking tidbit: "But the BBC's Orla Guerin says it is not clear whether the easily identifiable convoy was deliberately targeted." - from the BBC. Even Arafat is quoted as condemning "this ugly crime targeting American observers as they were on a mission for security and peace." The BBC - finding more excuses for terror than Arafat. |
