>Man, I hope some day, maybe when you have kids, you come to realize what a truly awful thing to say that was. In the mean time, it might be worth reading a bit of history to understand why our country has repeatedly re-affirmed it's decision to uphold the values in the Declaration of Independence to spend money to take care of all it's citizens and not just the lucky healthiest smartest richest ones.

HA! We got ourselves a liberal here. The world is revolting against your slave morality ideals. The authoritarian left and the authoritarian right are rising - neither of which are ideologies that affirm the rights of all American citizens.

>Is it possible that the lack of evidence says more about the value of those claims?

It's possible but not likely. I don't think the pencil necks would give anyone a lot of money to study the outcomes of the profoundly retarded. And cost-benefit will not be resolved in their favor unless we say that it's worth a sizable amount of money for parents to play dress up with their retard babies. It's funny to see a retard dressed like an elf, but it's not funny when I think about the resources we've wasted on that mouth breather.
