In the Supreme Court's decision in l927 he wrote, "It is better for all the world, if instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind..."

We just have to be sure not to repeat it.<br />Maryann-CambriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010559333082508395.post-74572721081637659922012-04-11T12:14:15.424-07:002012-04-11T12:14:15.424-07:00Proof: each time we open our mouths there will be ...Proof: each time we open our mouths there will be someone to counteract... good or bad. <br /><br />It is the "yah, but..." clause to all life. <br /><br />I too did not know this story, but history tells.<br />=w=Out and Abouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413559914369726418noreply@blogger.com
