A story that turned my stomach

[fpb]

What does this story have in common with the fact that the same country routinely murders the old and the sick and has recently approved the murder of disabled children?

Obviously, that human beings are being treated not as an end, but as cogs in the wheel of whatever it is that their rulers want (which the creature in question defines with admirable clarity: "capital"). Bear in mind that the creature's party not only did not even try to stifle her outrageous suggestion, but actually lined up behind her. Is Holland even worth spitting on if it was on fire?

Despite all this (and yes, I am biased, even though you'd have to fight VERY hard to get me to admit that I'm sick enough to go to a hospital here), the Dutch are human beings too (even though the vox populi denies this, ha ha), they are in need of salvation, prayers, conversion and communion. I can't give up on praying for this country of baby-killer-sympathisers; I can't leave them to their own devices and risk them all being lost - what if it's my task to show God to some of them? What would happen to those some if I gave up? Surely in some way I would be asked to reckon for the souls who had looked to me and found nothing.

Fluffy religious meanderings aside...it's sickening.

One of these days you're going to lose it and really let everyone know what you think. (I heard this quote differently a few decades ago.)

I wouldn't worry. People who don't work and have children don't have much money to pay fines, and I doubt the first Mom carted away from her wailing children for non-payment of loans will go quietly. She'll probably have a PhD in Marketing and Communications.

What are they doing to the ones who flunk out of Dutch schools without even getting degrees? Make them be MPs?

I read somewhere that if a disabled child is born in Holland, the doctor has every right to perform an abortion, even if the parents do not consent.

Well you know, education is only to increase the capital of the state, not to, like you know, enrich society or have an informed electorate or expand people's horizons or anything like that. Why that would be just ridiculous.

I feel like I do an awful lot of shaking my head at humanity and I'm afraid that this is one of those instances. Seriously, where the hell did that lady get that idea? Oy.
