My Note: Now if you REALLY want to talk about 'crazy' check this out. And supposedly a 'leader(?)' of his community?
Excerpt:
That anyone could be so callous and crass in making such a statement is beyond comprehension, yet that is what, allegedly, Cornish Councillor, Colin Brewer has said.
Both The Independent and The Huffington Post carried the story, extracts below:-
The Cornish councillor who was re-elected despite saying that disabled children "should be put down because they cost too much money" has again insisted that there may be a case for killing some disabled children with high support needs...
[...]
Looking for analogies to support his view, Brewer compared disabled children to farmers' treatment of animals, telling the agency: “If they have a misshapen lamb, they get rid of it. They get rid of it. Bang!” He continued: "We are just animals. He [the farmer] obviously has got a point…

My Response: There we have it: 'We are just animals.' Thus we have reached the 'crown' of Darwinian socialism who not only deny God, it seems, but man. So who belongs to this 'elite' group of theirs--if not God or man? The crux of the matter: socialism reducts everything to this thus denying the soul. Now who I wonder hates man and so denigrates him?
For over a decade I was Education Director at a 'special' school. It was my job to coordinate with the university and community in training developmentally disabled adults and teens to live and work in the community. I will never forget when the first (US)government interventions began. The institutions were to be emptied out with residents sent back to families for 'local' agencies--including public schools--to train and care for. For a solid week I was required to participate in 'testing' each one's skills. One afternoon a middle-aged gentleman who worked in the greenhouse/farm area came in. He was irritated that he had to leave his job. Staff, employers, and residents alike respected and liked him. I was tired and irritated too after a day of utter inane questioning. So I went right to the point with him.
"Can you read, Pete?"
He retorted: "I read my Bible everyday. Do you?"
Pete passed.
Oh, BTW. He was diagnosed with brain-damage and Down's Syndrome. I wonder if Mr. Brewer has read Exodus? I think he will find the injunction: "Thou shall not kill." It doesn't take an act of God to declare which human being I have greater respect for.
