In 1909 Francis Galton wrote: "one person in every 118 of our population is
mentally defective, being either mad, idiotic, or feeble-minded". The same
is true today and most of them seem to be Usenet regulars.

Mental defectives aside, it is nice to know a little more about folks who
make grand pronouncements like that.

Sir Francis Galton, some kind of a cousin of Charles Darwin, was an English
Victorian egghead, polymath, anthropologist, tropical explorer, geographer,
inventor, meteorologist, proto-geneticist, psychometrician, and
statistician.

He coined the term "Eugenics," so he could be called the Father of Eugenics,
too.

He enjoyed nothing more than measuring people's skulls, and other things,
when he wasn't out exploring, inventing, inventing statistical mathematics,
and other stuff. He also credited with inventing fingerprinting, but that
was when he wasn't doing his other stuff.

IOW, he was a fairly typical self-centered, wealthy, British pacifist Quaker
kook of the late 19th Century who's family made tons of money out of banking
and gun manufacturing.

He would have gotten along well with the Nazis, but checked out before WW
One. They liked what he had to say in his books, anyway.

Eugenics was presented, after Galton croaked, as a mathematical science that
could be used to predict the traits and behaviors of humans, and control
human breeding.

The way Eugenicists viewed things, only people who were eugenics buffs could
breed. The Nazis expanded on that basic idea until folks that didn't make
their cut were to be euthanized in concentration camps.

Recognizing the dangers such thoughts could bring on here in the USA,
Democratic politicians had it stamped out back in the Thirties vefore it
could threaten their party faithful.

Galton was the type of guy who would probably be known as Mohammed Galton,
today.

In pursuit of their social agenda, the eugenics movement adopted two
faces, a "positive" one, which concentrated on exhorting the genetically
gifted to reproduce, and a "negative" one, which sought to prevent the
defective from breeding. From 1900 on, the movement found a receptive ear
in state legislatures, as it did in Washington, and it exerted a profound
influence on American public policy. By the 1930s, most states had passed
eugenical laws authorizing the sterilization of "defectives," and in an
infamous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed such laws were
constitutional. Eugenical lobbying also contributed to the powerful
anti-immigration movement of the 1910s and 1920s, using their scientific
studies to support the claim that non-whites and immigrants were inferior
to native-born white Americans in intelligence, physical condition, and
moral stature. Even though the meticulous studies of Franz Boas, H.S.
Jennings, and others amply demonstrated the failure of eugenical
methodology and the falsity of their claims, the eugenical tide continued
to swell. Only after the Second World War, when the horrific results of
the Nazi eugenic program became fully evident, did the movement lose
steam. Though much smaller in scope, it continues today. </quote>

U.S. doctors who once believed that sterilization could help rid society
of mental illness and crime launched a 20th century eugenics movement that
in some ways paralleled the policies of Nazi Germany, researchers said on
Monday.

A Yale study tracing a once-popular movement aimed at improving society
through selective breeding, indicates that state-authorized sterilizations
were carried out longer and on a larger scale in the United States than
previously believed, beginning with the first state eugenics law in
Indiana in 1907.

Despite modern assumptions that American interest in eugenics waned during
the 1920s, researchers said sterilization laws had authorized the
neutering of more than 40,000 people classed as insane or feebleminded in
30 states by 1944.

Another 22,000 underwent sterilization from the mid-1940s to 1963, despite
weakening public support and revelations of Nazi atrocities, according to
the study, funded by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the
Merck Co. Foundation.

Forced sterilization was legal in 18 U.S. states, and most states with
eugenics laws allowed people to be sterilized without their consent by
leaving the decision to a third party.

The comparative histories of the eugenical sterilization campaigns in the
United States and Nazi Germany reveal important similarities of
motivation, intent and strategy, the study’s authors wrote in the Annals
of Internal Medicine, a journal published by the American College of
Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine.

And then the nation adopted an even worse opposite policy.
Welfare, where you promote the reproduction of the mentally defective, non
productive, and worthless members of society.

The liberal version of eugenics.

The liberal version of eugenics

Which spawned "Eubonics", and created the liberal's favorite voting block.
