[/quote] Being chronically poor is a character flaw at very least. I realize that people go through rough patches but remaining chronically poor, unless you are a brain dead vegetable, and never being self sufficient is the poor persons fault. It could boil down to genes I suppose. What is the driving force that makes one person do for themselves while another person just wants to sit on their ass and leech off society? Of course there are some people who came from poor backgrounds who went on to be self sufficient so you cant judge people exclusively based on their parents. [/quote]

People sterilized against their will under a discredited North Carolina state programme should each be paid $50,000, a task force voted today.
This would mark the first time a state has moved to compensate victims of a once-common public health practice called eugenics.
The panel recommended that the money go to verified, living victims, including those who are alive now but may die before the lawmakers approve any compensation.
