Rove Rage
Wag the press dogs. Plus Iraq, Guantanamo, and Armstrong's France. And much more.

I must write to correct Bob Salomon’s corrective. In a letter re: George Neumayr, Mr. Salomon states that the word “eugenics” refers to the process of “selective breeding” and therefore does not apply to abortion. Selection necessarily implies deselection. In animal husbandry this includes the culling of unwanted specimens and the sterilization of useful individuals that are not desirable candidates for reproduction. Without deselection, the process is known as “letting nature take its course.”
p>”Eugenics” as a social/political movement absolutely included abortion and forced sterilization in its bag of tools. The practice of eugenics ultimately included the culling (i.e. murder) of humans (adults as well as children) who were deemed “undesirable.” Since it’s far more efficient to kill a born human being than it is to abort a fetus, the economics of the process literally demand it. br> — Tom McAndrews /p> p> TRUMPED br> Re: Lawrence Henry’s Slackers : /p> p>I couldn’t help but feel a bit encouraged by Mr. Henry’s latest fine piece; my present employment “situation” should be set aright quickly, knowing that there are plenty of fine jobs involving only web-surfing and video games. Gotta go; Mr. Trump awaits! br> — C.S. Bolay br> Kansas City, Missouri /p>
