150. Absolutely disgusting. I want there to be no illusions about where my sentiments lie:

One one hand, I am presented with the ideals of Karl Marx, telling me that each person has something to contribute and draw from the whole, without regards to their disability or mastery of anything.

On the other hand, I am presented with the idea that there are a "superior" people, who should seek to eradicate all other people from existence, to make way for a world populated with this new superior race. I am told that intellectual inferiors should be eradicated, and as an example of this inferiority, I am given what the Nazis called "the relativity Jew"; Einstein - who alerted FDR to the possibilities of the atom Bomb, while being targeted for eradication by the Ann Coulter elite of Nazi Germany as being "intellectually inferior", and therefor deserving of eugenic eradication to purify Germany of "inferior minds".

Given this, I am not ashamed ONE BIT of the stance I have taken my whole life, of standing with the elderly, the weak, the mentally and physically disabled, believing they have something to teach us, and we should be humble rather than condemning anybody. I am not ashamed of my stance that what some consider to be inferior may in fact be superior, and so I am in fact not ashamed to call myself what Einstein called himself: A Socialist.
