I didn't want to be one of those serious, bummer grad students who teach summer classes on mass murder and all that in unairconditioned rooms. I wanted to be fun and hip. I wanted my dissertation to be, like, the history of the party.
Happy times!
Like, "In the 18th Century, parties were considered to be universal, but then in the 19th C with the rise of the new "science" partyology, parties were thought to be biologically based but, with the invention of making out and the cocktail, began to totally rock!" Etc.
You know, dancing naked nuns. Yeah?
Anyway, but now I am reading all this stuff on a bummer topic. Yes, it's sterilization. "Voluntary" sterilization. When you are talking about "voluntary" sterilization with the word 'voluntary' in quotation marks, that is no party man. People say, 'what are you up to?' and I get all agitated telling about "voluntary" sterilization. With 'voluntary' in quotation marks. Hand-signal quotation marks. Yikes.

wait so they weren't voluntary sterilizations?
Makes you wonder what documents a legitimately voluntary sterilization program would leave behind. Bright-color pamphlets showing smiling, childless people? Detailed graphs of how investing the money you would have spent on college will make you a millionaire? Sounds like something the Nazis might have put out, ya?
When was the cocktail invented? I'd really like to take a class about that. I may be changing my thesis topic. Party on!
More people should be "voluntarily" sterilized. Come on here people. Modern science has not been a boon to evolution, let me tell you. We stopped weeding out the unwanted genetical material quite a while ago.
