Of course we know, Junior, that infant exposure was a fairly common practice in the ancient world, and not just in the case of the Spartans.

Except, dear heart, the Spartans specifically did it as method to strengthen their gene pool, not to simply eliminate an unwanted mouth-to-feed. This is eugenics, and it was practiced 2300 years ago.

I already know that Junior. So what's the point? Meanwhile you haven't answered my question.
