Modern Eugenics
Wow, never made the connection before. You know how the crime rates have been dropping, and people are all surprised (over the past decade or so.) Well people have put 2 and 2 together and noticed some interesting “coincidences.” The drop offs are timed 15-20 years after the legalization of abortion.
That’s right. Makes sense doesn’t it? Suddenly we have a smaller percentage of youths growing up in poverty, or without their parents, or maybe just without their father… and the crime rate drops correspondingly.
Interesting. Kind of obvious in retrospect.

Is it possible that the crime rate dropped from the availablity of jobs? If you believe that the ills of society are due to bad nuture maybe it’s time to improve the nuture. Jobs provide self esteem and pride. If anyone believed they could elevate themselves from the circumstances in which they were born … they would.
With the world economy as it is I’m sure we will see crime rise out of desparation. It will cross all racial boundaries, but the first it will affect will be those who have little now. To eradicate the weakest of us only shows how elitist the prosperous have become. As though Money and Power, Ah yes Power, the addiction that cannot be overcome and can be passed through generation, are the messuring stick by which humanity is judged.
I truely wonder where it will end. If I don’t have a large enough bank account, have one drop, if I get too old, too sick, don’t have a Harvard degree will I be expendable? I wonder who will decide?
