<Shall we shoot them? 50% of the population has an IQ below 100 by definition. Shall 50% be forbidden to marry? Shall we neuter them to make sure they don't have children?> Why can't you just leave them alone to do what they like? Muck up their lives if they so choose. Why the urge to be so bossy? You don't have to run other people's lives. Just get off their case. Punish criminals and enforce contracts. <There ARE those incapable of earning a living. Shall we simply shoot them? Do they starve instead?> What's with the shooting obsession? I know many in the USA think a gun is a great way to solve problems, but there are better ways which involve a lot fewer dead people and actually get useful results. Just leave them alone. That's a good start. If they starve to death, that's what happens. I think that in a country of morbid obesity, nobody will starve to death. They will have family, friends or charities who will give them a crust of bread and drink of water. People throw out high quality clothes, so I don't think they'll have to wear potato sacks either.
