>>> And let's get rid of the morons while we're at it <<<<

The government has tried that too.

It’s interesting that Germany looked to the US for it’s ideas on eugenics.

Excerpt from link:
Though they couldn't possible know it, the children of the Fernald State School were the victims of bad science and a newly developed bureaucracy designed to save America from the so-called "menace of the feebleminded." Beginning early in the twentieth century, United States health officials used crude versions of the modern IQ tests to identify supposedly "deficient" children and lock them away. The idea was to protect society from potential criminals and to prevent so-called undesirables from having children and degrading the American gene pool......

...... It reveals the danger in misguided science, the fearsome power of unchecked bureaucracies,

I was referring to getting rid of the morons in government, which seems to be a moron magnet, hiring those incapable of actually producing anything elsewhere.

But I'll grant you the feeblemindedness of these government morons. Retarded people outside government usually can't mess up our lives; those within, can.
