You have a very twisted moral code. But I do find it very telling that you quoted Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (who was not actually Chief Justice of the United States). Holmes was widely known for being a moral relativist and a great supported of eugenics as shown in his Buck v. Bell opinion which MANDATED sterilization of the mentally retarded.

In my opinion Holmes had it right. Which is better, dumbing down the human race financed by socialist welfare policies, or some targeted eugenics? I don’t advocate it NAZI style, but in some cases it make sense.
