ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, March 12 — Gov. Gray Davis apologized for a state law passed nearly a century ago that resulted in the involuntary sterilization of about 19,000 Californians.

Davis' announcement Tuesday places California among a handful of states that have issued formal regrets regarding eugenics, a movement that eventually sterilized 60,000 mentally ill people in 32 states.

Well at least they were sterilized. Compare that to what Hitler did to those that he saw unfit this would seem a lighter offense against humanity than mass extermination.

Oh, no way! Freakapotimus, I love these news stories of the day. They get better every single day. I hope there's been nothing like that here. Mwahahaha.

Now if only Gray Davis would apologize for all the idiotic things that he has done. I can't believe that California re-elected this moron.

Well it is California they would elect a house cat if it had enough name recognition.

California has never been the best role model of a state. I don't see why they're going to try and start now.

Ah. The Yahoo boards. A realm that is seemingly devoid of any intelligent thought whatsoever. I try to stay away from them, but sometimes I just can't. It's like looking at a train wreck--it's an ugly sight, but you just can't turn away from it. From my experience, most of the morons on those boards tend to lean toward the left, but some lean the other way. Either way, they have no clue what they're talking about, and sometimes, I figure, "Well, since I'm here, I might as well put these losers in their place." But of course, they never listen, and continue spouting their ignorant views.

At least here, we get some intelligent thought.
