Symptom of our times

2014年1月30日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

It's a symptom of our times that Sanger's words appear to us as outrageous, diabolical, or evil. And it's positively shameful that the eugenics she's talking about gets mixed up what the Nazi's did. Nowhere in this book is one ounce of evil.

What she's talking about is keeping the human race fit, physically and mentally, by doing what evolution has always done: favoring the survival and procreation of the strong over the weak. She's thinking long-term, removing emotion from an equation that requires hard fact-facing logic.

She's absolutely right that predatory capitalism favors and encourages the breeding of unthinking workers that are just smart enough to work it's machines, but who are not smart or capable enough to threaten the rule of the elite.

If you had a herd of sheep, and one kept walking into an electric fence and bleating noisily until you had to get out of bed and rescue it, what would you do? Would you allow it to breed or not? And if you didn't allow it to breed, would you consider that evil, or an act of long-term good for the entire herd? For a farmer who has the future of his herd at stake, the choice is obvious.

I cannot fathom why modern humans make every effort to ignore the fact that the same is true of our species, except that it's easier not to face the hard facts. If you've got a weak stomach, then translate Sanger's words into modern feel-good-isms in your head as you read. What she calls an "imbecile," we would call, "learning impaired," or some other fluffy title. She hasn't got all the answers, but this book will get you thinking along lines that may actually save the human race from itself.

Good job Ms. Sanger for calling a turd a turd. Society needs to treat the cause of social problems, not the symptoms. Given the potential of the human race, each person deserves a good education, access to birth control, an intact family, morals and intellect to help them make decisions they can be proud of, and they deserve to live in a society that is progressively getting smarter and more capable, not the other way around.

Though her language is outdated, and possibly offensive to some, her vision of a better world is beautiful.

The Nightmare Of Abortion

2009年6月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This is Margaret Sanger's work, the lady behind Planned Parenthood. You'd think they'd want to emphasize this, but they don't. Go to the Planned Parenthood site and search the bookstore. You won't find this book mentioned. Go read their history. You won't find Margaret Sanger writing this book mentioned. Now the site does talk about birth control, which the book consistently calls "Birth Control", but the site does not have in its A-Z section that word Sanger has in this book, Eugenics.

What's Sanger's problem in the book however? Stupid people. That's right. The world is wicked because people are stupid. In fact, based on what she's said, about half of the people you meet on the street are stupid and they ought not reproduce. Sanger doesn't really care for these people. The text can be read online, but go through and just do a search for these statements and see.

"The actual dangers can only be fully realized when we have
acquired definite information concerning the financial and cultural cost
of these classes to the community, when we become fully cognizant of the
burden of the imbecile upon the whole human race; when we see the funds
that should be available for human development, for scientific, artistic
and philosophic research, being diverted annually, by hundreds of
millions of dollars, to the care and segregation of men, women, and
children who never should have been born."

Never should have been born. Hopefully many of us will recoil at that, although years of having 4,000 babies put to death every day might change that by now.

Think that what I've said is a fluke example? She says it again and this time mentions Eugenics:

" "Constructive" Eugenics aims to arouse
the enthusiasm or the interest of the people in the welfare of the world
fifteen or twenty generations in the future. On its negative side it
shows us that we are paying for and even submitting to the dictates of
an ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never
should have been born at all--that the wealth of individuals and of
states is being diverted from the development and the progress of human
expression and civilization."

And of course, we're wasting our money on these dregs that should have never been born:

"The burden of supporting these
unwanted types has to be bourne by the healthy elements of the nation.
Funds that should be used to raise the standard of our civilization are
diverted to the maintenance of those who should never have been born."

Sanger's idea is that stupidity leads to evil. History shows us however that the most evil men of all were some of the brightest. This is not to condemn intelligence of course, but to warn us to be wary. Think of Paul Johnson's warning in Intellectuals. Be careful!

What's the goal? Eliminate the least fit, the stupid ones, and we will have utopia. It's an interesting idea to destroy all of those that if they reproduce will lead to a less fit humanity. Who else in history decided to use such an idea? Hey! Wasn't that part of the Nazi goal? Didn't Hitler want to eliminate the least fit people to create the perfect race? Of course, it's not being said that Sanger would approve of what Hitler did, but it is being said that both of them were thinking of the same ideas on how to create a perfect race and both of them involved the death of innocent people.

Oh don't forget that Margaret Sanger has some interesting ideas about sex. Her ideas involve eliminating moral taboos on society. That will free us from the shackles that we've put sex in and the more sex we have, the better off we'll be. Don't believe it? Just go read the last couple of chapters. Sex causes secretions into our bloodstream that ultimately make us better people.

What's the great danger in all of this? Sanger is just another one who in an atheistic regime is trying to get the Kingdom of God minus God. She wants Utopia on Earth without having to admit that man is a fallen being. It's not sin that's the problem. It's stupidity! What do we do? Use "Birth Control" to assure that the stupid don't reproduce. What will be the result? True happiness. No. Happiness is paltry. Once we eliminate the stupid and have enough sex, here's what will happen:

"Let us look forward to this great release of creative and constructive
energy, not as an idle, vacuous mirage, but as a promise which we, as
the whole human race, have it in our power, in the very conduct of our
lives from day to day, to transmute into a glorious reality. Let us
look forward to that era, perhaps not so distant as we believe, when the
great adventures in the enchanted realm of the arts and sciences may no
longer be the privilege of a gifted few, but the rightful heritage of
a race of genius. In such a world men and women would no longer seek
escape from themselves by the fantastic and the faraway. They would be
awakened to the realization that the source of life, of happiness, is to
be found not outside themselves, but within, in the healthful exercise
of their God-given functions. The treasures of life are not hidden; they
are close at hand, so close that we overlook them. We cheat ourselves
with a pitiful fear of ourselves. Men and women of the future will not
seek happiness; they will have gone beyond it. Mere happiness would
produce monotony. And their lives shall be lives of change and variety
with the thrills produced by experiment and research."

So where are we today?

4,000 babies murdered every day.

Teen pregnancy and suicide on the rise.

Pornography a constant problem.

Numerous children born outside of marriage not knowing who Daddy is.

Divorce breaking up numerous homes and sadly those in the church as well.

Euthanasia of the old being pushed.

STD's on the rise.

Homosexuality competing to be an acceptable lifestyle alongside of the proper sexual design, even to the point of wanting to make marriage that which it is not.

And have we seen a drop in crime? Are we truly becoming better people in America? I think not.

Yes! Utopia must be just around the corner if we keep this up!

There's a reason Benjamin Wiker considers this one of the Ten Books That Screwed Up The World, which is an excellent book that should be read by all. I am indebted to him for bringing out much of the book.

Sanger's plan didn't work. It has not worked. It cannot work. The taking of innocent lives on a utilitarian basis of the good of the whole cannot be good. Doing evil is never the way for us to reach Paradise. The proper way is to submit to the good. The way to the kingdom of God is not through the ways of man but the way of God.

For Me To Know

A book that should be on everyone's reading list

2014年3月23日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Margaret Sanger set out to change the direction of humanity and successfully accomplished that goal. A large organization today credits Sanger as their founder and one of their greatest heroes. She has been gone for a while now, but fortunately for us, she recorded her thoughts and motivations in great detail in this book.
I gave the book 5 stars because it should be on everyone's reading list, not because of my agreement with any of her ideas, but because of Sanger's large impact on our society. The author's hubris is clearly displayed throughout the entire book. The open nature of discussion of the controversial ideas in the book is very refreshing, and is something we rarely see today. People today wrap their words in politically correct language, and when they're not doing that, they simply lie. The author openly advocates seeking out those people that she deems unfit for society. She recommends segregating the "imbeciles" (not my word, but one of Sanger's colorful terms in the book) so that they can not reproduce. She also recommends sterilization to keep them from having future "imbeciles". Many in our society today have ideas that are every bit as evil as the author of this book, but it's harder to see through the deception that is commonly used in our day. So check out this book to see the unvarnished truth of ideas that have guided our society, presented in her own words, by the leader of a movement.

Lite on the specifics, not very persuasive

2013年10月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

The 20th century has seen numerous changes in the social, scientific, and political domains. One of the least appreciated was the gradual legitimization of the various forms of birth control such as abortion, contraceptive devices, condom usage, the pill, etc... This book was authored by Margaret Sanger, one of the founders of Planned Parenthood, and the public face of the birth control movement in the first third of the 20th century. This book encapsulates her ideas and justifications for the use of birth control, and they are in marked contrast to what many pro-choice members would think of. So lets recap this book.
1) Sanger's primary argument is that birth control is needed to prevent the poor and imbeciles of the human race from overwhelming the better parts of humanity with their offspring. Time and again she cites facts and arguments to show that poor people having too many kids only extends poverty into the next generation, reduces the quality and quantity of parenting given to each individual child, and places social burdens on the community at large.
2) Sanger neglects the importance of birth control as a way for women to mitigate the affects of rape, incest, or deadbeat fathers. Hence the dichotomy between what she emphasizes and what she does not clearly demonstrates her downplay of abortion as a right of women to help themselves, and more as a right of society to trim itself.
3) Sanger talks very little about the specifics of how birth control should be implemented, or what forms it should take, or who should be administering it. This book is more about the reasons and justifications of birth control, not the who, what, when, where.
4) Sanger's examples and arguments refer primarily to the US, with a smattering of examples from Europe. This is unfortunate as other societies have practiced various forms of birth control long before the US came along.

Overall, this book is key to understand the initial philosophy of birth control in the West, and it hints at its relations to the Eugenics movement and eventually the Nazis.

The final results of the death of shame

2016年3月4日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

In the spirit of "know thy enemy" I read this unpleasant book. Sanger comes from an anti-humanist, neo-Malthusian perspective, favorably referring to Malthus throughout the book. Of course, she would no-doubt bristle at being called anti-humanist, she merely wants the "right kinds" of humans, in sufficiently small quantities so as not to inconvenience those fine few of "good stock" with the pestilence of the common rabble. Sanger typifies the cold, psychopathic intellectual who provides foundational premises and intellectual cover for the necessary monsters who will actually carry out the business-end of her evil ideology. She often laments the fact that technology and civilization "prevents" the outworkings of natural Darwinian selection. Meaning that, through technology and human sympathy millions of "unfit" are permitted to infect global society by continued being. Technology and altruism artificially props up the weak you see, who would, and should, otherwise die out by the attrition of disease, starvation, and, if necessary, forced sterilization. She proposes that "each class must be divided into what are termed Gifted, Bright, Average, Dull, Normal, and Defective." This woman was truly soul-sick, and it is to its eternal shame that the political Left in America revere her. Sanger's book is also a cautionary tale of the consequences of scientism run amok, unbridaled by pesky "traditional" moral conventions which the left is always to eager to overturn. Good and evil are inverted and "shame" becomes society's new "sin."

I turn now to the interesting but shameful implication of liberal so-called "Christian" theologians who became complicit in Sanger's evil ideology, even citing biblical support of her eugenics program by contorted "interpretation."

Quote: "Dean Inge believes Birth Control is an essential part of Eugenics, and an essential part of Christian morality. On this point he asserts: "We do wish to remind our orthodox and conservative friends that the Sermon on the Mount contains some admirably clear and unmistakable eugenic precepts. `Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? A corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit, neither can a good tree bring forth evil fruit. Every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.' We wish to apply these words not only to the actions of individuals, which spring from their characters, but to the character of individuals, which spring from their inherited qualities. This extension of the scope of the maxim seems to me quite legitimate."

Have you no shame, sir? At long last, have you no shame?
