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?

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.
