See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Trash metal band Megadeth's illustrated mascot is Vic Rattlehead. According to Wikipedia, Vic represents “victim” and Mustaine's mother used to tell him not to headbang: “Don't do that or you'll rattle something up in there!” Hence the Rattlehead.

Vic is a skeletal figure who embodies the phrase "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." His eyes are covered by a riveted-on visor, his mouth is clamped shut, and his ears are closed with metal caps.

See no evil... Is it easy? I wish I didn't see it. But how can you help not seeing it when it is around so much?
Hear no evil... Same goes for seeing the evil. You hear about it if you ever listen to the news. Or even if you read the news, as reading is a way of hearing too; it's hearing in your mind.

I kept “speak no evil” out of the title. That I can do. I believe I do not speak evil. Unfortunately, I often have to speak about evil. It hurts. Hope to be speaking of better things one day.
