To return to the original spirt of this thing!

None have offered to compensate those sterilized, however, citing that few are likely still living (and would of course have no affected offspring)...

That's goddamn funny. I fear that this has turned into a graveyard for long articles filled with two much information to be snappy and incisive. I have used this as a scrapbook and not a place to capture the funny, the bizzare, the brilliant, and the grotesque of wikipedia. I pledge to post shorter and more interesting excerpts from now on. The only thing I will not apologize for, I cannot apologize for, is the incredibly long David Cross talk page "Is he a Jew" discussion. That is all.
