Its one thing to be physically handicapped, another to be mentally handicapped. You can be totally messed up physically and unable to do anything for yourself, but you can have a good mind. Sometime you are both. Sometimes its your brain.

I know a man who had a stroke at 40 and is severely handicapped. Almost unintelligible when he speaks, but still knows how to type and communicate via a keyboard. It was painful to watch.

One of the first eugenic programs the Nazi’s had was to start eliminating the “mentally feeble.” They brought in trucks put them in the backs, sealed them up and ran exhaust until the “feeble” died of CO poisoning.

Perhaps Senator Kennedy is doing this with his institutionalized sister in mind. (It was in southern WI, run by tight lipped nuns. I drove by the place once.) What he should really do is return to his original position that abortion is just plain wrong.

I guess a person needs to think through what a democracy is or should be.

I see where numerous Mexicans are encouraged to vote in California where citizenship is not necessarily a requirement, and proof of citizenship is definitely not. Those people should be adequately represented when it comes to educating their children, don’t you think?
