Dear Tequila, People WERE trusted with making those decisions...some truly hideous things were done in America, especially to black people, and people in mental institutions.

As soon as I wrote that, I remembered about Nazism, about the Swedish experience, about the disgusting eugenics programmes in the U.S - I just didn't phrase it well enough.

What I should have said was: and should we ever trust people with that power again?

I obviously know that it's inhumane and cruel. I know about the Holocaust, when Hitler had that power, and what happened in Sweden. It's kind of like nuclear weapons in a way.
What I'm afraid of is my scientific side's occasional immorality. (Insert GLaDOS reference here)

I'm certainly NOT advocating it. (OK, why did I even write that last post? Sorry! :oops: )

First I was an emu egg. Now I'm a butterfly.... I think Darwin would have something to say about that! Lol

I had a few squares of Dairy Milk last night. Yes, it was good. Not that Hershey stuff, though (I'm glad we don't get that here) - that's horrid. :eew:
