A Defence of Eugenics

[dotinthesky]

I stopped at the supermarket on my way home. Coming out, I nearly tripped over a toddler. Her father, a curly-haired figure with beady eyes and a five-o'clock shadow, apologised for her. I said it was no problem and fell behind them. When the little girl turned the wrong corner, her father said "come over here, you stupid cow."

"Silly?" She asked. She made some noises that she didn't want to walk anymore.

"You are a lazy cow. Now come over here. You are a pain in the ass." He picked her up. "Now look what you've done, I have to carry the beer with my other hand." He was carrying a container with six cans of beer.

I was speechless. Mind, she didn't seem phased at all. She kept chattering to him as if it was all very normal.

Yep, here my mom's friend adopted a girl with pretty bad schiztophrenia. She popped out two - one severely autistic (the violent kind) and one a sweet "doorknob" as my mother's ex-husband used to say. Then finally after it became obvious she wouldn't take any precautions and was not fit to parent or breed, she was "fixed".
