I've had this thought pop into my mind the other day: is it ontologically cruel to let a disabled person live. I'm talking non-verbal, muscle atrophy, dwarfism or the like. I know that some of them can achieve great things, e.g. Stephen Hawking, Sam Berns, etc. but in reality, how likely is it really that they will unlock the cure for cancer when they can barely function without a guardian. I've heard stories of low-functioning disabled people, and how hard it is to take care of them, and how the parents pretty much sacrifice their lives, resources, etc so that they can provide for their child. Then again, they are a lot nicer than the motherfuckers who are born into wealth and that only eat and shit and subjugate others for their pleasure till the cows come home. at least the disabled people aren't psychos who want to use and abuse others, though one can argue the "what if" and how it's inherent for a creature to dominate another and expand its' influence. I won't follow functionalismtards and say "erm the net happiness is blah blah".

The US Government's official record of the war, IIRC it's called "War of Rebellion" and has enough volumes to fill a bookshelf.
