This Is Insane !

Here is the way I see this deal. Haiti is no different than most other poor nations in that they are "unfixable". We've tried there, and countless other nations with zero results. There are all sorts of reasons. Corrupt governments, lazy, uncaring people, pure stupidity. We've spent billions of dollars and decades chasing results that never come. I don't know about you but I'm a little tired of all of it. I can't even turn on the TV at dinnertime without an overweight Sally Struthers telling me how I can feed some poor starving kid in Upper Volta for .27 cents a day. They'll even send me a picture of him or her.

Nothing ever changes except more starving children are constantly being born to idiot parents. I'm not going to get into the whole black thing, although that seems to be about 95% of the problem. It will never be solved, NEVER. So yes, what I'm suggesting is to take these kids, by whatever means necessary, and distribute them to a more deserving family who is capable of caring for them. We do that with dogs and cats here because we are compassionate people. But try it with a kid and you're some type of monster. I'm sorry, but I don't see it that way.

There is one chance those kids have, and one chance only. That is to get them the hell out of there by whatever means necessary. If they remain it is all but guaranteed they will have a very short, filthy, disease ridden, poverty stricken life. No one should have to live like that. If a few laws, and or parental rights get fractured in the process, so be it. I would rather see an undeserving parent cry, than a kid starve. The "parents" will get over it, and most likely bang out another. The kid in question won't "get over" starving to death. As attorneys so love to say, those are the facts of the case, and they are undisputed.  Bill T.

 What exactly is wrong with eugenics ? Oliver Wendall Holmes thought it was a great idea.
More precisely, can you explain to me why people who believe Darwins theory of evolution, (which says that better adapted species supplant less adapted ones, and the strong survive while the weak perish.) would object to the same type of "reasoned" breeding program for people that we regularly apply to cows and horses ?
Seems like either hypocracy, or a reasoned conspiracy to weaken the human strain.

One question. Who do we trust to set up and enforce the program? History says the answer is no one. Its something that can go right one way and end up FUBARed a hundred ways. I'll play the odds.

I should point out I'm not talking about a mass exodus here. I'm applying this to these people who are in the can for trying to take a few kids out, not the military bringing in 50 C-17's and turning Miami International into a parent less Romper Room. And if we should let the strong survive, and the weak perish, wouldn't it be better to just bomb the place, rather than let the human suffering continue on such a grand scale? Besides, it would be more cost effective as well.  Bill T.

Bill, as you said before  "it will never be solved, NEVER"


There will be another generation of kids to save, another Sally Struthers commercial for them or someplace else.  Either you let them face the results of their stupidity and perish until, perhaps, at some point in their fall, they learn they will need to fix it themselves.

Either that or it will take a lot of bombing.

As a side note, Marilyn Monroe once suggest to Einstein that they have a child. She commented that a child with his brains and her looks would be wonderful. His answer was yes, but what a disaster if it had my looks and your brains.

I like that!  Bill T.
