Effectively, many corporations are already firing ('scuse me,
"terminating"--let's keep our jargon straight) employees over 40. This is
particularly true in the high-tech industries, but the tendency has
definitely spread to other areas... BTW, yr obed't serv't is 52.
And eugenics is *here* already. Indeed, it never left, just went
underground, into the "ethical" drug industry and biochemical research. The
current research on gene therapy is nothing more nor less than an attempt to
retroactively correct genetic flaws. It is just as much eugenics as the
controlled breeding programs of Himmler's Lebensborn, because the therapy is
designed to change the genetic makeup of the individual in a way that will
carry over to the next generation and beyond. What the State could not
accomplish by force of law, the Market will accomplish by dint of the profit
motive...

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
