17. THE WORTHLESS

"When God wanted sponges and oysters, He made them, and put one on a rock, and the other in the mud. When He made man, He did not make him to be a sponge or an oyster; He made him with feet, and hands, and head, and heart, and vital blood, and a place to use them, and said to him, Go Work!" - Henry Ward Beecher - 1866

"The men who start out with the notion that the world owes them a living generally find that the world pays its debt in the penitentiary or the poorhouse." - William Graham Sumner - 1913

The entire world is being over-run by criminal, demented, evil, worthless, helpless, lazy, dependent, irresponsible, scum and human savages, who are polluting the entire globe, and making our lives ever more difficult. TV talk shows parade dozens of miscreants each day, and the streets in any major city are full of filthy bums, some sitting at intersections with crude signs saying, "will work for food," or some such nonsense. They won't work for food, but are just beggars. In foreign lands, beggars, robbers, purse snatchers, rapists, and con-men range the streets and hallways even more than in America, but America has literally millions that should not exist any longer. Out of 280 million inhabitants, we would be ever so much better off without quite a few million of them. Not only the homeless and criminals, but every other person that adds nothing to society, crippling it in many ways. Those who work, support themselves and their families, raise their children, obey the law, make their payments, and are not a liability to the rest of us...fine. Poverty is no sin, and poor people will always be with us, but the worthless are dragging us down. Anyone who won't pull their own share, support themselves, care for their dependents, and be law abiding...is worthless. Gang members, criminals, con artists, welfare dependents, thieves, burglars, murderers, child abusers, wife beaters, etc., are all...literally...worthless.

In a normal society there will always be a few worthless bums, but the vast majority will be responsible and trustworthy, making that society healthy and self-correcting of its ills. In the world today, the worthless occupy so large a percentage of the total population, it would be beyond belief to a person who lived a hundred years ago, if they could be brought back to witness our current state. When the worthless procreate and copulate like barnyard animals, continually growing in numbers, as they are in the world today, it is because society has created and nourished them in two basic ways. They are welfare, and lack of law enforcement. Today, 10% of Americans are on food stamps, a program, which was started by a Republican President, 28 years ago. Millions get government checks each month, and the 35 year old American socialized medical scheme is growing at a rate at least three times the government announced inflation rate. Public housing projects multiply, and hundreds of welfare programs offer aid and comfort to anyone clever enough to get on them. As if welfare weren't bad enough, the judges regularly release hardened criminals, who naturally commit more crimes. Crime does pay, and not working pays pretty well also. A tenant in a building I used to own, lost so many jobs that she decided to go on welfare for 50 weeks, and actually made more than she did in her jobs. She decided to just sit home for 50 weeks, watch TV, and do much better.

As a result of "freebies," (SFN) and lack of criminal prosecution, the worthless have proliferated to the point where our cities are unlivable, and it is dangerous to walk about. We must have alarms on our cars and homes, plus heavy insurance on our valuables. Multiple locks, barred windows, and mace are almost necessities in most cities, and entrepreneurs are getting rich selling us protection from the worthless. In a healthy society, businessmen would prosper by producing and selling items to improve our lives and property, not protecting them.

As a merely typical example of the worthless, regardless of age, I quote from the December 19, 1995 Rocky Mountain News, page 6A, under the headline, "VANDALS CITE NEED FOR EXCITEMENT." The story is about two boys, age sixteen, who admitted smashing and wrecking two Colorado Springs churches, only the latest in a two month rampage of burglaries and vandalism, before finally being apprehended and arrested. In the churches, they smashed two computers, a photocopier, two overhead projectors, a plate glass window, and an electronic organ. They pulled apart plumbing, flooding one building, broke grape juice bottles against walls in the kitchen, broke jars of jelly, and sprayed a room with a fire extinguisher. They stole a fax machine and a computer, poured gasoline into a church entry, and set it on fire. The last paragraph of the piece reads, "Detective Smith said if the two are handled in juvenile court they are unlikely to receive detention time." Newspapers across the width and breadth of this land are full of such stories on a daily basis. The two teenagers in the above, are truly worthless, as are tens of millions of other creeps in the world.

From the May 29, 1996 issue of the Bangor (Maine) Daily News, page B 1, comes the story that, "Pond Island is termed 'gull free' site." The story goes on to tell that sea gulls have become a menace, driving out the terns and puffins. "Scientists have managed seabird habitats in Maine by poisoning gulls since at least 1974, when the National Audubon Society set out to restore a colony of Atlantic puffins on Eastern Egg Rock in Muscongus Bay." The story tells that the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, in cooperation with the Audubon Society, have now made at least ten islands and refuges "gull free." They set out poison cubes killing tens of thousands of gulls, which are unwanted...probably much like California and Oregon should kill off thousands of fish eating, noisy, sea lions which have over-populated, making a damned nuisance of themselves. In Colorado at the turn of the century, it is estimated that there were about 7,000 deer in the state, and now there are over 700,000. Few Colorado residents have missed either hitting one, or having a close call. They have become a damned nuisance, just like sea gulls have in Cape Cod, and other beautiful New England islands and areas. The point being, that at times, populations of things must be managed.

"Zero population growth" (ZPG) has been achieved by productive societies around the world. It has never been reached by the worthless, who live for instant gratification, rather than thinking and planning for the future. The result is that the worthless are reproducing like bunny rabbits and lemmings, and they and their offspring are being supported by welfare. If the support and subsidy were removed, the worthless might think twice about continual unprotected copulation and reproduction. In other words, a worthless person would have to either become useful to the degree of supporting themselves, with no outside assistance from government, or bear the consequences ...which may be death. Everyone dies eventually. Premature death, self caused, would be in perfect harmony with nature.

We are being over-run with a worthless, useless, criminal element, which continues to prey on us, haunt us, ruin us, threaten us, kill us, destroy our cities, and disgust us...take your pick. Welfare, handouts, and subsidies are destroying America. There should be no welfare or subsidy for anyone, any group, or any business or corporation, at any time, by any government, at any level. If a private person, business, charity, or church wants to subsidize the poor, worthless, weak, sick, old, or infirm; excellent! When government subsidizes something, it is theft and wealth re-distribution, which does exactly the wrong thing. Consider the following absolute truism: "What is subsidized, you get more of...what is taxed, you get less of," Make sense? Of course! What are governments at all levels subsidizing? The worthless. What are they taxing? The productive.

I live in a wonderful small town. This town, and hundreds of others like it, is witnessing immigration from the big cities. The reason being, there are virtually no worthless people here. It is a joy, not worrying about robberies, muggings, filthy air, and serious crime. With the advent of technology, computers, phone lines, Fed-Ex, e-mail, the Internet, and other wonderful advantages in communication, many can earn a living without actually having to live amidst the worthless spoilers in the ruined cities. I know of designers, advertisers, traders, and participants in many other occupations, who now live in small towns, because the marvels of electronics allow them to do so. They would rather not uproot their families, but no longer feel safe living in cities surrounded by the worthless. The worthless are dangerous.

Call them what you wish, but if the worthless were animals, they would not live long. In nature's system, the worthless are eaten, allowed to die, abandoned, or in some other way gotten rid of quickly. Others of the animal kingdom, such as lemmings, multiply so rapidly and in such great numbers, they support other life by being eaten as a steady diet. Only humans are so much in awe of life, no matter how useless or worthless. Cruel though it sounds, Americans are suckers for attempting to stop the normal course of things...as dictated by nature...especially as it applies to their own race.

Charles Darwin called it, "survival of the fittest," but certainly no one should believe "survival of the worthless" is the way to Utopia.

The less civilized a race or group is, the more likely they are to die young. Look to Africa for many examples. In Liberia, Rwanda, Sudan, or any of a host of others, there is violence, mass killing, disease, filth, cannibalism, and brutality beyond the grasp of a normal civilized mind. The humanitarians refuse to let nature take its course, interfering with what they have been doing to each other for thousands of years. That happens to be killing each other for no particular reason, dying from plagues and disease, or many other reasons that have nothing to do with civilization. The result is that Africa's population is increasing to such a degree, that within a few years it will be unable to feed itself. If the civilized nations allowed the uncivilized to have at it their own way, an entire continent would not be in danger. As it is, there are so many Africans doing so much damage to the landscape, that it will be out of trees, water, wild animals, and food pretty quickly. Thanks to misplaced humanitarianism, they live longer, reproduce quicker, and are now running out of natural resources to sustain themselves. For thousands of years, Africans maintained themselves and their surroundings, doing what they knew how to do to live. That balance is now hopelessly out of kilter, and an entire continent is on the brink of total ruination.

Our own country is the same. What is being subsidized in America, and for whom? Everything is being subsidized, and for the more or less worthless. Housing, food, fuel, transport, and medical care, is what is being subsidized, plus things I cannot even think of, but to say that 'everything' is being subsidized, is no small exaggeration. Who pays for the subsidies? The productive sector does, with enormous taxes levied by politicians who have the power of life and death over us, that's who.

SOLUTIONS

I am not advocating "managing" the worthless, but we certainly should stop subsidizing them, or releasing them from prison early. A governmental subsidy of any kind upsets the natural balance of whatever is subsidized, by "weakening the strong and strengthening the weak." - Abraham Lincoln. A natural balance is, as has already been illustrated in the animal kingdom, sees to it that the weak, lazy, old, helpless, diseased, or inept, are removed by natural processes such as early death, starvation, or being eaten. The natural balance keeps the species healthy and strong. Of all the species that can be considered weak, diseased, poor, or in trouble, the human species is the weakest, thanks to subsidizing the weak and punishing the strong. If all subsidies were removed, those able to care for themselves would do so. Others would learn to do so. Still others would turn to charity for help. Those who refused to work, learn, or solicit, would turn to crime to sustain themselves, and with everyone owning a gun, and prisons being just that, being a criminal would be a pretty risky occupation. The results of totally removing all subsidies from the worthless, is that the class would virtually disappear, and we would return to the non-welfare state of the America that was prosperous and full of worthwhile people. Citizens who contribute to society in various degrees, and do not suck it dry in a continuous transfusion...is what we need.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

"Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed." - Genesis 9:6

Whatever you may think about the death penalty, it has the lowest recidivism rate of any of the ways of fighting crime." - Thomas Sowell

There are those worthless who do not come under the heading of weak, old, inept, etc. These are the cruel, demented, and criminal. These will never cease to exist from sickness or starvation, because they prey on the innocent. These are the most worthless of all.

Should Reginald Muldrew live? He has probably raped more women than any other man in history. Sentenced to 25 years in prison, and released on parole after 16, he promptly began raping again, sometimes several times a day. Finally, neighbors heard a woman's screams, as Muldrew began another rape. Before the police arrived, the neighbors had beaten Muldrew so thoroughly that he was about dead, and it was only possible to identify him by his fingerprints. He was taken to the hospital and his wounds doctored, probably for another trial and a few more years in the slammer, with all the benefits of color TV, etc., as has already been mentioned. If the neighbors had done their job correctly, the taxpayers wouldn't have to fork out a Harvard tuition each year for this animal's care.

On Friday, July 17 1998, a mentally ill creep shot to death two U.S. Capitol policemen and wounded a tourist, after barging through a metal detector. He lived, unfortunately, after being shot by the now dead cops. He's crazy as a June bug, and should be executed. He will live, while two policemen are dead. Why should he live? Taxpayers will shell out about $40,000 a year for the rest of his life, or until he is again released, which he had been, before gunning down the police. I say execute him, and quickly. Public defenders and humanitarians will say he needs to be cared for and medicated; but who is to pay for it? Maybe I am not a "humanitarian," but unless you can tell me how to bring those policemen back to life, and allow them to once again be with their families and loved ones, he should fry in the electric chair, be gassed, or in some way be put to death. Mental illness that causes death or needless suffering of the innocents, is no reason to keep the criminal alive.

An AP story on March 13, 1997 reveals that, " Mitchell Sexton fatally stabbed his father with a double-edged knife and used an electrical cord to hang the body from the handle of an exercise bike. Norman Eastman beat a 1 year-old to death for vomiting in his Corvette, punching the child so hard that the youngster’s bowels ruptured. The men are among 300 rapists, robbers and other felons freed this week from Florida prisons in one of the biggest mass releases of violent lawbreakers in state history." The state had no choice, or rather decided not to fight the "system," and obeyed a Supreme Court decision that instructs states to release prisoners to relieve over-crowding. Undoubtedly all of them should have been executed rather than being placed in prison in the first place. Once again I ask: Suppose Florida decided to ignore the Supreme Court's ridiculous orders, and squeezed the bastards in cells so tightly, they gasped for breath. We would all be safer, and the riffraff would be uncomfortable. Who cares about them? Isn't the safety of the law-abiding citizenry thousands of percentage points more important than "overcrowding?"

Humane treatment and "rights" for murderers, thieves, muggers, and rapists is absurd. Criminals, gang members, and other worthless rabble, have no place in a civilized society, and society should not be forced to pay to keep them alive. Capital punishment for the most violent, with one quick appeal, is the solution. During the year 1996, there were over 3,000 inmates on death row in various prisons, but only 56 executions; and that is baloney. There are probably a million, and maybe even a lot more that should have their lives snuffed out today, and we would all be a lot safer, richer, and happier. No one could consider capital punishment inhumane if it were done with simple breathing in of nitrogen or carbon monoxide, which is not only painless, but the person is not even aware that anything adverse is happening.

A three star, 1931 movie titled "Star Witness," features Walter Huston as the DA, and he is hot after the murderer. He says, "I’ll indict Maxey Campo today, and execute him in 90 days." Which he does! The point is that death row inmates currently spend 10 or 15 years waiting for their execution, while they appeal, appeal, appeal. Get rid of them pronto!

The crybaby protesters who rail against capital punishment make me sick. I can see nothing but advantage in getting rid of the criminally insane, murderers, child molesters, and rapists with painless capital punishment. Even the scriptures uphold the principle. Executing a murderer is just punishment, and in no way contradicts the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, which states that, "cruel and unusual punishments (shall not be) inflicted." Death for murderers is certainly not unusual, as it has been going on for thousands of years. How is it less cruel to lock up a person for life in a cell, verses simple death by humane execution? Is there really any reason why an inmate of a maximum-security penitentiary shouldn’t have been put to death, rather than committed? The yearly $40,000 cost to house the vermin are eliminated with one injection, a dose of gas, or a brief surge of the electric meter; a far better bargain.

Some lives may be sacred, but others are not. Cockroaches, rats, termites, mosquitoes, mad cows, and the lives of career criminals are not sacred, and must not be preserved. We swat flies and exterminate termites before they eat our homes, why not exterminate any murderer, rapist, or equal scum we catch and convict? Is there any reason not to exterminate them?

Since I have already proven that we are being taxed by probably 75%, think about who received subsidies 50 years ago, when our cities were livable, clean, and healthy. Think about who was being subsidized 50 years ago, when our skies were not polluted. Think about what was being subsidized 50 years ago, when there were no abandoned buildings, destroyed neighborhoods, graffiti, and ill educated students. I'll tell you what and who were being subsidized 50 years ago...virtually no one and nothing. There were no food stamps; people had to feed themselves. There were no public housing projects; people had to house themselves. There was no Medicare or Medicaid; people had to care for themselves. And on it goes. 50 years ago, there was no massive wealth redistribution system taxing the producers to give to the no-accounts. 50 years ago, there were fast executions of worthless, useless, human insects. How sad that few are left to remember those halcyon days.
