California's situation, and this nation's, have nothing to do with eugenics or the lack thereof. We are suffering from the malady of oversized government, which the Founders warned us about, early and often. If we waved a magic wand and changed all the retarded and handicapped folks to able-bodied folks, there would still be a massive underclass expecting government handouts, a massive number of working people whose vision of compassion involves a lot of people sitting at Formica desks shuffling papers, and a whole lot of politicians ready to serve those desires in order to gain votes.
If you think sterilizing a bunch of mentally handicapped people will get us out of the mess we're in, you're losing your mind. And if you think that elected public servants like say, Maxine Waters and Robert Byrd are feebleminded, then you missed the moral context. These people are not stupid, they are evil servants of an ideology that killed at least 160 million people last century. That's not retarded, that's diabolical.
