Useless Eaters:
Disability as Genocidal Marker in Nazi Germany
The methods used for mass extermination in the Nazi death camps originated and were perfected earlier use against people with physical, emotional and intellectual disabilities. This article describes the historical context of attitudes towards people with disabilities in Germany and how this context produced mass murder of people with disabilities prior to and during the early years of World War II. Several key marker variabiles, the manipulation os which allowed a highly sophisticated Western society to officially sanction the murder of people with disabilities, are examined. Important implications must continually be drawn from these sad events as we work with people with disabilties at the dawn of a new century.

Why are we surprised when Yankees commit murder? Yes, I realise that this is occurring in Florida which is south of the MD line but let's look at the culprits. Schiavo who is of Yugoslav descent via Italy who will hereafter be referred to as "Schifoso" and his atorney, "Felon" are Yankees. Yankees love three things more than anything in the world. MONEY, RULES/LAWS AND KILLING INNOCENT LIFE. I am sure I have lost most of the sane by now, but for those of you who are still hearing me out, let's look at a few facts. In no other country of the world are people so eager to put animals to death as in the Yankee USA. In other countries one readily finds cats as part of the city atmosphere. Children are not raised to be serial killers in these countries so they do not, as a rule, abuse the animals who are ALLOWED TO LIVE. How about what the Yankees are so smugly congratulating themselves for now as they help this Yankee murderer kill his wife? "It's the law" is an expression which we must understand PLEASES the Yankee to say, especially when it causes suffering to others. Now, since we know that the Yankee loves money above human life and decency and manners, we must not forget to "FOLLOW THE MONEY". Firstly, he is the reason Teresa is incapacitated. He tried to kill her and didn't finish the job. This has made for quite a sticky situation for him for many years now. He pulled the wool over lots of other Yankees eyes when he turned down a million dollars just to refrain from finishing the murder of his wife, and even reportedly 10 million dollars. Let's see, the laws in our land are based upon precedent. In the lawsuit where M. Schifoso won his beloved $$$ Yankee dollars, he also won the attention of interests, interests who like a man who can be bought. This case puts the law of this land one step closer to the legalization of euthanasia. (I am not against euthanasia, by the by--it does not apply to this poor woman who is being murdered, in my opinion.) We must ask "who benefits by the legalization of euthanasia"?.....well....euthanasia means shorter hospital stays. Who pays for hospital stays, when it comes right down to it? AND How much money would they save each year if they could kill in addition to "not recussitating". Who cares only about their own industry and is a big, price inflating con.....YOU GUESSED IT~ INDURANCE COMPANY INTERESTS! They will gladly pay $40 million to Schifoso and Felon if they can help to set the precedent for euthanasia in addition, control of Teresa's corpse eliminates the sticky autopsy that will show Schifoso's guilt. Also, why have her speak when she will tell the truth? I would tell you to try to wake a Yankee up near you but they are just so pleased with themselves and TRULY BELIEVE that they have moral high ground in comparison with ALL OTHER CULTURES WITHIN THE US AND ABROAD...as though they were all WWll vets....well, they are not. They are simple and cheap. One day, they will reap as they have sown and that right soon. Yankees are Romans and they have made their sacrifice with the agreement of the LAW, which is in fact, their GOD because it supports their ego and they are SOOOOOOOO insecure that it is sickening. Oh, yeah, and Felon just gave a "campaign contribution" to GREER yesterday!
Your comments reflect an interesting point of view but the only thing I think we seem to agree on is that Michael Schiavo and his attorney are both dirtbags.
I really don't thing that geography is germane to this issue.
