Some Gulf War vets were on CSPAN yesterday, testifying about nerve-damage and mysterious illnesses and the neglect and mis-diagnosis many of their brothers have suffered under the Veterans Administration - it was another event in the short but growing list of brave Americans turning their strength and courage toward the real enemies of freedom and the people with valor and dignity
and given their testimony
and given the treatment of the poor in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina
and given the cuts in aid programs the Congress is enacting
and given the miasmic rise of Social Darwinism as consumer surpluses contract from the recent Age of Plenty
and given the heartless disregard for the hundreds of thousands of killed and maimed Iraqis that seems to be almost a public trait of the national character now
and given the statistics on imprisonment in the US, especially among young black males
and given all the other signs that point clearly and directly to a willingness and an appetite for the designation and use of populations seen as disposable and inferior by the architects of current social policy
this accusation doesn't seem quite as farfetched and hysterical as it should:

ALERT: EPA TO ALLOW PESTICIDE
TESTING ON ORPHANS & MENTALLY
HANDICAPPED CHILDREN
